What is Cloud Computing
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 55
What is Cloud Computing
Resource availability is a key factor to achieve prosperity of any society,
Particularly important are computing resources
E-Learning, E-Commerce, E-Government, E-Banking
To attain their full potential, computing resources need to be efficiently utilized preferably in an aggregated manner.
The demand for computing resources can now be met by utility computing, grid computing, and most recently cloud computing.
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 66
What is Cloud ComputingUtility Computing
Utility computing providers rent capacity on computing resources that they maintain Metered computing: analogous to electric power (Pay per use)
Resources often virtualized and shared by multiple tenants
Example: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (estimated $60 USD/Month for one EC2 Instance for 24hrs/day-7days/week). Pay per use optionAmazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) web service
provides resizable compute capacity in the cloudDesigned to make web-scale computing easier for
developers.

What is Cloud Computing Utility versus Cloud computing
Cloud computing not only provides raw computing resources, but also hosts the applications that use these resources.
Applications usually accessed via a web browser.
User data typically stored on provider's file systems.
Underlying computing infrastructure concealed from user. Example: gmail servers are concealed from users
Cloud Computing middleware systems are available for building clouds and their applications (e.g., Eucalyptus and Hadoop)
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 88
What is Cloud Computing Cluster and Grid Computing
A cluster is a collection of tightly coupled computing servers. Usually co-located.
A computing grid is a distributed collection of computing servers. While the servers may be dedicated resources, they could
be borrowed from idle desktop computers. A grid middleware system is needed to support the
development and assessment of service-oriented grid systems and applications (e.g., CROWN-C) http://www.wrgrid.org.uk/Resources/Leaflets/WRG_COLAB_Sept2007.pdf
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 99
Example: University of Florida Campus Grid
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 1010
Example: University of California Campus Grid

The WVU Cloud Computing Project
A research team at West Virginia University led by Dr. Mat Valenti has been
developing a cloud computing resource for the purpose of scientific computing by running a Matlab compute engine applications on underutilized computers
located in the student computer labs and computer classrooms Frontier CC middleware

What is Cloud Computing Grid and Community Computing
Community computing projects assemble a grid of donated CPU resources using volunteers idle cycles
Example: The BOINC software by UC Berkley is an Open-source software for volunteer computing and grid computing.
BOINC lets you donate your idle computer time to science projects like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, Folding@home, World Community Grid, and many, Folding@home (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php)
Uses Screensavers (windows) or low-priority process (linux)

What is Cloud Computing Grid and Cloud Computing
Resource Sharing: Grid enhances fair sharing of resources across organization. Cloud provide resources according to demand so no actual
sharing of resources due to the isolation through virtualization
Virtualization: Grid: virtualization covers both data and resources (flat file and
database). Cloud adds virtualization for hardware resources too
Security: Grid: security is not seriously explored. Cloud: Each user has a unique access to the virtualized
environment
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 1414
What is Cloud Computing Grid and Cloud Computing
Usability: Clouds are easily usable hiding the deployment details from the
user. Grid: hard to manage
Payment model: Cloud use pay- per use model. Grid fixed rate per service.
Scalability Both Grid and cloud deals with scalability
Heterogeneity: Both cloud and grid support aggregation of heterogonous
hardware and software.

Benefits of Cloud Computing Cloud computing is a model that supports everything as a service
(XaaS), e.g, the X changes to an I for, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Physical resource set (PRS):
is hardware dependent or vendor dependent
Virtual resource set (VRS): is built on top of PRS
to run in multivendor cloud
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 1717
Benefits of Cloud Computing
Platform as a service (PaaS): Java or .NET
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 1818
Benefits of Cloud Computing Software as a service (SaaS): e.g Gmail, Google Docs, Matlab,
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 1919
Benefits of Cloud Computing Human as a service (HaaS): Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk)
is one of the suites of Amazon Web Services, a crowdsourcing marketplace that enables computer programs to coordinate the use of Human Intelligence to perform Tasks (HITs) which computers are unable to do
Workers can work at home and make money by choosing from thousands of posted HITs.

Benefits of Cloud ComputingThe Big Picture of the Cloud Layered Architecture
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 2121
Benefits of Cloud Computing
The Provided services in the Cloud are the following: Virtualized physical resources, Virtualized infrastructure, Virtualized middleware platforms Virtualized business applications
Cloud computing reduces the need for advanced hardware on the clients side Clients can use inexpensive small Net Books and virtually have the
processing power of an expandable Grid computing system No need to buy a set of software or software licenses Data is no longer confined to the user's hard drive, will be able to access
data and applications from anywhere at any time. There is no more lost data due to hard drive failures
Corporations would save money on IT support, and No need for space to house expensive hardware and software servers.

Challenges of Cloud Computing
Providing Support for both Service Users and Service Providers
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 2424
Challenges of Cloud Computing
Service Providers: Development Services, or Build and Test Services, Software Engineering Methodologies and tools How to manage clouds for Application Lifecycle Management The Cloud manager can limit projects to certain clouds, control
costs, manage security, or supplement resources during peak use
Service Users: easily usable clouds, hiding the deployment details from the user using virtualization,
Security and privacy are the biggest concerns Cost accounting data , and usage tracking for Multiple
Clouds

Making the case for Campus Clouds
College Campuses maintain significant Infrastructure of computing resources in computing Labs
This infrastructure is under utilized (many students use laptops and Net Books)
Service Providers and Users are in need for inexpensive computing resources
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 3535
Making the case for Campus Clouds
Developing IaaS Campus cloud project aggregating the computing resources of multiple college campuses would provide the following benefits: Providing extra Revenue to colleges from service providers and
businesses Providing students with an environment for learning the concepts of
cloud computing Providing college systems maintenance team (professionals and
students) with the experience of dealing with Cloud service providers and Cloud users
Provides stronger ties between academia and industry Motivates the Industry to invest in academic computing resources Academic research will benefit from Campus clouds
Al-Imam UniversityRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 31, 2010 3636
Conclusions
Cloud computing has emerged to provide inexpensive on-demand pay per use computing resources
Cloud computing is closely related to grid computing and utility computing.
Software Engineering Methodologies and tools are needed for cloud developers (Cloud-based Service-Oriented Engineering)
Security and privacy are the biggest concerns of cloud computing users and developers
Campus Clouds can bring revenue for computing resources, enhance student learning, strengthen ties with Industry, and enhance academic research.
