Cloud Computing: Benefits and Challenges

This document discusses cloud computing, including definitions, history, applications, advantages, disadvantages, and the future of cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as using remote servers and services over the internet rather than local hardware. Some key points made include that cloud computing provides cost savings by reducing hardware investments, allows for flexible access to latest applications, and offers a competitive advantage. However, performance can vary depending on other users' demands. Examples of cloud applications discussed include antivirus software and education systems using cloud infrastructure. The future of cloud computing is predicted to involve increased development for the cloud, with over 25% of all software projected to be cloud-based by 2016.

This Presentation is all about cloud computing in


realities of now-a days current technology
obtaining on the ground…..!
CLOUD COMPUTING;
DEFINITION:

THE PRACTICE OF USING A NETWORK OF REMOTE SERVER HOSTED ON THE


INTERNET RATHER THAN A LOCAL SEVER OR PERSONAL COMPUTER; OR
CLOUD COMPUTING:

Defines as:
the use of various services, such as software
development platforms,servers,storage and
software over the internet, often referred to as
the “cloud.”…..
HISTORY:

The late 1990s:

In its early stages, the cloud was used to express the empty space between
then end user and the provider. In 1997 , professor Ramnath chellapa of
Emory university defined cloud computing as the new “ computing paradigm,
where the boundaries of computing will be determined by economic
rationale, rather than technical limits alone.”..
APPLICATIONS USES:

In education sector:
The education industry has been transformed by
the cloud, from student email and mission-
critical business systems, to online distance
learning platforms and student information
systems.
APPLICATION USES:

• In education sector:

• Cloud stability and elasticity and the Iaas and Saas service models are a perfect fit for
addressing the trends and challeges in higher education at the end of 2018 and beyond.
• Part of a series that examines the cloud challenges and opportunities of specific verticals, this
blog post focuses on cloud computing in education-both higher education institutions and
education software vendors.
ADVANTAGES OF
CLOUD COMPUTING.
COST SAVINGS:

COST SAVINGS IS THE BIGGEST BENEFIT OF CLOUD COMPUTING. IT HELPS YOU TO SAVE
SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL COST AS IT DOES NOT NEED ANY PHYSICAL HARDWARE INVESTMENTS. THE
BUYING AND MANAGING OF EQUIPMENTS IS DONE BY THE CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDER.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD COMPUTING

• Strategic edge:
• cloud computing offers a competitive edge
over your competitors. It helps to access the
latest and applications anytime without
spending your time and money on installations.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD COMPUTING

• High speed:
• Cloud computing allows you to deploy your
service quickly in fewer clicks. This faster
development allows you to get the resources
required for your system within fewer minutes.
•
MAIN DISADVANTAGES OF
CLOUD COMPUTING
• Performance can vary:
• When you are working on a cloud environment,
your application is running on the server which
simultaneously provides resources to other
businesses. Any greedy behavior or DDOS
attack on your tenant could affect the
performance of your resources.
EXAMPLE OF APPLICATION IN
FILED OF CHOICES.
1) Web Application for virus:
2) One example is cloud antivirus, this application on the
cloud is provided by panda security - a Spanish company
which provides functionality to keep the virus away from a
clean system and also detects and fix a system infested
with malware or other forms of computer viruses. It has
been rated as the best free antivirus application by PC
world. This also includes the feature to download it into
the systems, and the checking of malware is done by
sending the information of the file to the data center of
the cloud.
