Abstract:
Cloud computing is a newly developing paradigm of distributed computing. Virtualization in combination with utility computing model can make deference.
In theIT industryand as well as The term cloud computing" is a recent buzzword in the IT world. Though the term Cloud Computing” is recent but the idea of centralizing computation and storage inDistributed data centers maintained by third party companies is not new butit came in way back in 1990s along with distributed computing approaches likegrid computing.
Cloud computing is aimed at providing IT as a service to theCloud users on-demand basis with greater exibility, availability, reliability andScalability with utility computing model. This new paradigm of computinghas an immense potential in it to be used in the field of e-governance and inRural development perspective in developing countries like India.
In 1969 L. Kleinrock anticipated, “As of now, computer networks are still in their infancy. But as they grow up and become more sophisticated, we will probably see the spread of ’computer utilities’ which, like present electric and telephone utilities, will service individual homes and offices across the country.” His vision was the true indication of today’s utility based computing paradigm. . The term Cloud computing was given prominence first by Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt in late 2006 (may be he coined the term) . So the birth of cloud computing is very recent phenomena although its root belongs to some old ideas with new business, technical and social perspectives.
CONCLUSION:
In Social perspective. Though cloud computing is still in its infancy but it’s clearly gaining momentum. Organizations like Google ,Yahoo, Amazon is already providing cloud services. The products like GoogleApp-Engine, Amazon EC2, Windows Azure are capturing the market with their ease of use, availability aspects and utility computing model.
