Cloud Computing Guest Lecture Report

Guest LectureTopic :“Cloud Computing”Date of event : 13 th August, 2010Profile of guestfaculty :Description of theEvent :The session was conducted by Mr. Saurabh Jain, Wipro.Increasingly, IT squads are turning to cloud computationtechnology to minimize the time spent on lower-value naturalactions and allow IT to focus on essential activities with greaterimpact on the business.Hence it is important for the students to be well acquainted withthe field and should be aware of the intricacies of implementingthis technology. Keeping this in mind a guest lecture wasorganized for the students of MCA.Mr. Saurabh Jain, Resource Person for the event spoke on manyissues such as:What is Cloud Computing, Architecture of Cloud Computing.,Infrastructure Layers of Cloud Computing., Features of CloudComputing., Application of Cloud Computing., Service Providersfor Cloud Computing., Benefits of Cloud Computing., Issues withCloud Computing.

Event Report inbrief:Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby sharedresources, software, and information are provided to computersand other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.Cloud computing technology is tripping a huge change inapplication development circles. As a metaphor for theCyberspaces, "the cloud" is an everyday cliché, but whencombined with "computing," the meaning gets large and furrier.Today, for the most part, IT must jade into cloud-based servicesindividually, but cloud figuring aggregators and integrators arealready emerging. One potential security implication of cloudcomputing is that if you have individual data in that cloud, youare sharing hardware/networks with potential competitors inrather close propinquity, which is why for some folks building"clouds" they look to be for the most part just virtualizationheavyinternal deployments. Cloud-based tools can be up andworking in a few days, which is silent of with sanctioned businesssoftware.By eliminating the problems of traditional applicationdevelopment, cloud computing technology releases you to focuson developing business applications that deliver true value to yourbusiness (or your customers).
