Cloud Computing Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on- demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models , and four deployment models . NIST 2010
Cloud Computing Five essential characteristics: On-demand self-service. provision computing capabilities o as needed automatically. Broad network access. available over the network and o accessed through standard mechanisms. Resource pooling. computing resources are pooled with o location independence Rapid elasticity. Capabilities can be rapidly and o elastically provisioned. Measured Service. automatically control and optimize o resource NIST 2010
Cloud Computing Three service models Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) o Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) o Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) o Data as a Service (DaaS) o NIST 2010
U.S. 2010 budget “The Federal technology environment requires a fundamental re-examination of investments in technology infrastructure… Pilot projects will be implemented to offer an opportunity to utilize more fully and broadly departmental and Agency architectures to identify enterprise-wide common services and solutions, with a new emphasis on cloud-computing .”
Spatial Cloud Computing Spatial Cloud Computing refers to the computing paradigm that is driven by geospatial sciences, and optimized by spatiotemporal principles for enabling geospatial and other science discoveries within distributed computing environment.
