Origins of Cloud Computing


The concept of Cloud Computing came into existence in the year 1950 with implementation of mainframe computers, accessible via thin/static clients. Since then, cloud computing has been evolved from static clients to dynamic ones and from software to services. The following diagram explains the evolution of cloud computing:

Benefits

Cloud Computing has numerous advantages. Some of them are listed below -

  • One can access applications as utilities, over the Internet.

  • One can manipulate and configure the applications online at any time.

  • It does not require to install a software to access or manipulate cloud application.

  • Cloud Computing offers online development and deployment tools, programming runtime environment through PaaS model.

  • Cloud resources are available over the network in a manner that provide platform independent access to any type of clients.

  • Cloud Computing offers on-demand self-service. The resources can be used without interaction with cloud service provider.

  • Cloud Computing is highly cost effective because it operates at high efficiency with optimum utilization. It just requires an Internet connection

  • Cloud Computing offers load balancing that makes it more reliable.

  Components in Cloud Computing Cloud computing components correspond to platforms such as front end, back end, and cloud-dependent delivery and the utilized network. So, a framework of cloud computing is broadly categorized as three specifically clients, distributed servers and datacentre. For the operation of this computing, the following three components have a big hand and the responsibilities of these components can be elucidated clearly as below: Clients Clients in cloud computing are in general to the operation of  Local Area Networks  (LAN’s). They are just the desktops where they have their place on desks. These might be also in the form of laptops, mobiles, tablets to enhance mobility. Clients hold the responsibility of interaction which pushes for the management of data on cloud servers. Datacentre It is an array of servers that houses the subscribed application. Progressing the IT industry has brought the concept of virtualizing servers, where the software mig...
