WHY CLOUD !

Cloud ComputingLocation independent computingShared servers resources, software, and data ElasticityTotal Cost of OperationNatural evolution of:

• Virtualization• Service-Oriented Architecture• Utility computing

Details are abstracted from consumers

TypesInfrastructure as a Service (IaaS): basic compute and storage resources

• On-demand servers• Amazon EC2, VMWare vCloud

Platform as a Service (PaaS): cloud application infrastructure• On-demand application-hosting environment• E.g. Google AppEngine, Salesforce.com, Windows Azure, Amazon

Software as a Service (SaaS): cloud applications• On-demand applications• E.g. GMail, Microsoft Office Web Companions

Platform as a Service Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a way to rent hardware, operating systems, storage and network capacity over the Internet. The service delivery model allows the customer to rent virtualized servers and associated services for running existing applications or developing and testing new ones

App fabricAccess Control ServiceProvides an easy way for web applications and web services to identify users, and grant access control to the applications and services. The Access Control Service enables authorization decisions to be pulled out of the application and into a set of declarative rules that can transform incoming security claims into claims that applications understand. These rules are defined using a simple and familiar programming model, resulting in cleaner code. It can also be used to manage users’ permissions, saving the effort and complexity of developing these capabilities.

AppFabric ApplicationsProvides tools and APIs for developing and hosting a composite application expressly for deployment through the service.

Service BusProvides secure connections between distributed and disconnected applications in the cloud. The Service Bus diversifies choices for various communication and messaging protocols and patterns, and saves the need for the developer to worry about delivery assurance, reliable messaging and scale.

CachingProvides a distributed, in-memory, application cache service for Windows Azure and SQL Azure applications. It provides applications with high-speed access, scale, and high availability, to application data. The benefit is a widely available service for optimizing performance. This is a cloud service version of the Windows Server AppFabric technology
