Cloud Computing Essay

Introduction

Cloud computing is ‘a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction’ (Grance, 2009).Thus Cloud Computing is strictly regarded as a computing model, not a technology. The origin of the term cloud computing is not distinct, but according to the study (Lakhmi Chand Goyal, 2013), it appears to evolve from the practice of using cloud to display the network and communication system. The word cloud is only a metaphor for the Internet, based on the typical use of cloud-shaping computing with a series of special algorithms on the distributed devices and infrastructures. Recently, especially during the late 20 years, with the development of computer science and economics, the development of cloud computing has been supported by public organizations and most private scientific companies. Now the long-held dream of computer science, computing as a utility, has the potential to be realized and transformed to a large part of IT industry because the advancing cloud computing model will make software service more attractive and improve the methods to design and purchase the computer hardware.

Method

As the last report introduced and discussed the current situation of computer science roughly, the second report was decided to introduce one of the latest breakouts on computer science. Could computing, a newly invented computer model, has been paid attention by public. So this topic will be worthy doing research on. The information were all gathered from secondary document and source on the website or library during April 15th to April 20th.At beginning, ...

...is just capable of creating this kind of circumstance. In the future, there will be more success via using cloud computing in other commercial realms.

Conclusion

As new realm which has developed for less than 20 years, cloud computing still has a long way to go. But the current effect of using cloud computing on different realms has proved that this model will bring a revolution to the ways of web services and the experience of surfing online. And also the commercial realms such as banks will embrace a more powerful and convenient method to serve public. Eventually, the whole society will benefit from this scientific change. Of course, one important thing that can’t be ignored that to achieve the goals mentioned above, the three problems, latency reliability and security, must be solved first. And the three problems will be the pivotal directions of cloud computing.
