Cloud computing is a new instantiation of distributed computing. It is built on grid computing concepts and technology and further enabled by internet technologies for access. Cloud computing is the delivery of some part of an IT workflow – such as computational cycles, data storage, or application hosting – using an internet-style interface. This definition includes organizational intranets with web browser interfaces for accessing private clouds. Cloud computing is currently driven by business models that attempt to utilize or monetize unused resources. Grid, virtualization, and now cloud technologies have attempted to find and tap idle resources, thus reducing costs or generating revenue. The most interesting difference between cloud computing and earlier forms of distributed computing is that in developing ultra-scale computing centers, organizations such as Google and Amazon incidentally built out significant caches of occasionally idle computing resources that could be made generally available through the internet. Furthermore these organizations found that they had developed significant skills in constructing and managing these resources, and economies of scale allowed READ MORE >
