3. The Internet of
people is 1 billion
strong. Almost
one third of the
world’s population
will be on the
Web by 2011.
BECAUSE 1 trillion things
connected to
IT CAN. the Internet.
By 2010, There will likely be
30 billion RFID tags, 4 billion mobile
embedded into phone subscribers

What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is an emerging style of computing in which applications,
data, and resources are provided as services to users over the Web
Services provided may be available globally, always on, low in cost,
“on demand”, massively scalable, “pay as you grow”, …
Consumers of the services need only care about what the service does
for them, not how it is implemented

Linking business to IT
Business processes as services
Topologies of federated services must be mapped onto
large numbers of diverse physical and virtual resources
Soup of heterogeneous servers, storage, networks and their virtualization

10. Ensemble approach
Virtualized resource pools – “small clouds”
Stratus
Cirrus Cumulus
Highly homogeneous inside the
“ensemble”
Incredibly low labor costs for admin staffs,
labor does not scale up with nodes
Designed around solving a specific
workload very well
Redefined the ‘product boundary’ to be the
ensemble
Nimbostratus
An ensemble is a pool of like systems that are managed as a single system

11. Grid vs. Cloud
Large number of allocation
Few allocation requests to a
requests to fewer resources
larger number of resources
Infrastructure on demand
Parallelization
Automated provisioning
Grid middleware
Pooling

Scheduling Can provide a Grid infrastructure
Grid software interfaces Accommodates also non-gridifiable
workloads

Scientific workloads
March 26th 2009

Examples of Cloud Computing workloads
Web 2.0 applications
Provide rich user experience including real-time global collaboration
Enable rapid software development
Software to scan voluminous Wikipedia edits to identify spam
Organize global news articles by geographic location
Data-intensive workloads based on scalable architectures, such as
Google’s MapReduce framework
Financial modeling, real-time speech translation, Web search
Next generation rich media, such as virtual worlds, streaming videos, Web
conferencing, etc.
Creation and publishing of new services via a completely integrated
Eclipse-based environment
