Cloud Computing at a Higher LevelIn many ways, cloud computing is simply a metaphor for the Internet, the increasing movement of compute and data resources onto the Web. But theres a difference: cloud computing

Its about new programming models, new IT infrastructure, and the enabling of new business models.For those developers and enterprises who w

Cloud computing is embraced as a critical way to rev
11、olutionize time to service. But inevitably these services must be built on equally innovative rapid-deployment-infrastructure models. To be sure, these trends have existed in the IT industry for years. However, the recent emergence of massive network bandwidth and virtualization technologies has ena
12、bled this transformation to a new services-oriented infrastructure.Cloud computing enables IT organizations to increase hardware utilization rates dramatically, and to scale up to massive capacities in an instant without constantly having to invest in new infrastructure, train new personnel, or lice

It also creates new opportunities to build a better breed of network services, in less time, for less money.IT Efficiency on a Whole New ScaleCloud computing is all about efficiency. It provides a way to deploy and access everything from single systems to huge amounts of IT resourc

And since the best cloud strategies build on concepts and tools that developers already know, clouds also have the potential to redefine the relation

For example, clouds allow for self-service provisioning through APIs, bringing a higher level of automation to the datacenter and reducing management costs.Eliminate over provisioning Cloud comp
17、uting provides scaling on demand, which, when combined with utility pricing, removes the need to overprovision to meet demand. With cloud computing, companies can scale up to massive capacities in an instant.For those who think cloud computing is just fluff, take a closer look at the cloud offerings
18、 that are already available. Major Internet providers A, Google, and others are leveraging their infrastructure investments and “sharing” their large-scale economics. Already the bandwidth used by Amazon Web Services (AWS) exceeds that associated with their core e-tailing services. Forward-looking e
19、nterprises of all types from Web 2.0 startups to global enterprises are embracing cloud computing to reduce infrastructure costs.Faster, More Flexible ProgrammingCloud computing isnt only about hardware its also a programming revolution. Agile, easy-to-access, lightweight Web protocols coupled with
20、pervasive horizontally scaled architecture can accelerate development cycles and time to market with new applications and services. New business functions are now just a script away.Accelerated cycles The cloud computing model provides a faster, more efficient way to develop the new generation of ap
21、plications and services. Faster development and testing cycles means businesses can accomplish in hours what used to take days, weeks, or months.Increase agility Cloud computing accommodates change like no other model. For example, Animoto Productions, makers of a mashup tool that creates video from
22、 images and music, used cloud computing to scale up from 50 servers to 3,500 in just three days. Cloud computing can also provide a wider selection of more lightweight and agile development tools, simplifying and speeding up the development process.The immediate impact will be unprecedented flexibil
23、ity in service creation and accelerated development cycles. But at the same time, development flexibility could become constrained by APIs if theyre not truly open. Cloud computing can usher in a new era of productivity for developers if they build on platforms that are designed to be federated rath
24、er than centralized. But theres a major shift underway in programming culture and the languages that will be used in clouds.Today, the integrated, optimized, open-source Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python (AMP) stack is the preferred platform for building and deploying new Web applications and services.
25、 Cloud computing will be the catalyst for the adoption of an even newer stack of more lightweight, agile tools such as lighttpd, an open-source Web server; Hadoop, the free Java software framework that supports data-intensive distributed applications; and MogileFS, a file system that enables horizon
26、tal scaling of storage across any number of machines.(2)Compelling New Opportunities: The Cloud EcosystemBut cloud computing isnt just about a proliferation of Xen image stacks on a restricted handful of infrastructure providers. Its also about an emerging ecosystem of complementary services that pr
27、ovide computing resources such as on-ramps for cloud abstraction, professional services to help in deployment, specialized application components such as distributed databases, and virtual private datacenters for the entire range of IT providers and consumers.These services span the range of custome
28、r requirements, from individual developers and small startups to large enterprises. And they continue to expand the levels of virtualization, a key architectural component of the cloud that offers ever-higher abstractions of underlying services.(3) How Did Cloud Computing Start?At a basic level, clo
29、ud computing is simply a means of delivering IT resources as services. Almost all IT resources can be delivered as a cloud service: applications, compute power, storage capacity, networking, programming tools, even communications services and collaboration tools.Cloud computing began as large-scale
30、Internet service providers such as Google, Amazon, and others built out their infrastructure. An architecture emerged: massively scaled, horizontally distributed system resources, abstracted as virtual IT services and managed as continuously configured, pooled resources. This architectural model was
31、 immortalized by George Gilder in his October 2006 Wired magazine article titled “The Information Factories.” The server farms Gilder wrote about were architecturally similar to grid computing, but where grids are used for loosely coupled, technical computing applications, this new cloud model was b
32、eing applied to Internet services.Both clouds and grids are built to scale horizontally very efficiently. Both are built to withstand failures of individual elements or nodes. Both are charged on a per-use basis. But while grids typically process batch jobs, with a defined start and end point, cloud
33、 services can be continuous. Whats more, clouds expand the types of resources available file storage, databases, and Web services and extend the applicability to Web and enterprise applications.At the same time, the concept of utility computing became a focus of IT design and operations. As Nick Car
34、r observed in his book The Big Switch, computing services infrastructure was beginning to parallel the development of electricity as a utility. Wouldnt it be great if you could purchase compute resources, on demand, only paying for what you need, when you need it?For end users, cloud computing means
35、 there are no hardware acquisition costs, no software licenses or upgrades to manage, no new employees or consultants to hire, no facilities to lease, no capital costs of any kind and no hidden costs. Just a metered, per-use rate or a fixed subscription fee. Use only what you want, pay only for what
36、 you use.Cloud computing actually takes the utility model to the next level. Its a new and evolved form of utility computing in which many different types of resources (hardware, software, storage, communications, and so on) can be combined and recombined on the fly into the specific capabilities or
37、 services customers require. From CPU cycles for HPC projects to storage capacity for enterprise-grade backups to complete IDEs for software development, cloud computing can deliver virtually any IT capability, in real time. Under the circumstances it is easy to see that a broad range of organizatio
38、ns and individuals would like to purchase “computing” as a service, and those firms already building hyperscale distributed data centers would inevitably choose to begin offering this infrastructure as a service.(4)Harnessing Cloud ComputingSo how does an individual or a business take advantage of t
39、he cloud computing trend? Its not just about loading machine images consisting of your entire software stack onto a public cloud like AWS there are several different ways to exploit this infrastructure and explore the ecosystem of new business models.Use the CloudThe number and quality of public, co
40、mmercially available cloud-based service offerings is growing fast. Using the cloud is often the best option for startups, research projects, Web 2.0 developers, or niche players who want a simple, low-cost way to “load and go.” If youre an Internet startup today, you will be mandated by your invest
41、ors to keep you IT spend to a minimum. This is certainly what the cloud is for.Leverage the CloudTypically, enterprises are using public clouds for specific functions or workloads. The cloud is an attractive alternative for:Development and testing this is perhaps the easiest cloud use case for enter
42、prises (not just startup developers). Why wait to order servers when you dont even know if the project will pass the proof of concept?Functional offloading you can use the cloud for specific workloads. For example, SmugMug does its image thumbnailing as a batch job in the cloud.Augmentation Clouds g
43、ive you a new option for handling peak load or anticipated spikes in demand for services. This is a very attractive option for enterprises, but also potentially one of the most difficult use cases. Success is dependent on the statefulness of the application and the interdependence with other dataset
44、s that may need to be replicated and load-balanced across the two sites.Experimenting Why download demos of new software, and then install, license, and test it? In the future, software evaluation can be performed in the cloud, before licenses or support need to be purchased.Build the CloudMany larg
45、e enterprises understand the economic benefits of cloud computing but want to ensure strict enforcement of security policies. So theyre experimenting first with “private” clouds, with a longer-term option of migrating mature enterprise applications to a cloud thats able to deliver the right service
46、levels.Other companies may simply want to build private clouds to take advantage of the economics of resource pools and standardize their development and deployment processes.Be the CloudThis category includes both cloud computing service providers and cloud aggregators companies that offer multiple
47、 types of cloud services.As enterprises and service providers gain experience with the cloud architecture model and confidence in the security and access-control technologies that are available, many will decide to deploy externally facing cloud services. The phenomenal growth rates of some of the p
48、ublic cloud offerings available today will no doubt accelerate the momentum. Amazons EC2 was introduced only two years ago and officially graduated from beta to general availability in October 2008.Cloud service providers can:Provide new routes to market for startups and Web 2.0 application developersOffer new value-added capabilities such as analyticsDerive a competitive edge through enterprise-level SLAsHelp enterprise customers develop their own cloudsIf youre building large datacenters today, you should probably be th
