Buch – Cloud Computing: Technologies and Strategies of the Ubiquitous Data Center

Titel: Cloud Computing: Technologies and Strategies of the Ubiquitous Data Center

Autor: Brian J.S. Chee, Curtis Franklin Jr.

Beschreibung:
Modern computing is no longer about devices but is all about providing services, a natural progression that both consumers and enterprises are eager to embrace. As it can deliver those services, efficiently and with quality, at compelling price levels, cloud computing is with us to stay. Ubiquitously and quite definitively, cloud computing is answering the demand for sophisticated, flexible services

Cloud Computing: Technologies and Strategies of the Ubiquitous Data Center looks at cloud computing from an IT manager’s perspective. It answers basic as well as strategic questions from both a business and a technical perspective so that you can confidently engage both IT and financial assets in making your organization techno- savvy, efficient, and competitive.

Any answers about the future of computing are definitely in the clouds

The first section of the book offers up a history of the computing roots that have evolved into cloud computing. It looks at how IT has been traditionally serving needs and how cloud computing improves and expands on these services, so you can strategize about how a cloud might provide solutions to specific IT questions or answer business needs.

Next, the book shows how to begin the process of determining which organizational needs would best be served and improved by cloud computing. Presenting specific cases as examples, the book walks you through issues that your organization might likely encounter. Written clearly and succinctly, it —

  • Introduces you to the concepts behind different types of clouds, including those used for storage, those that improve processor and application delivery, and those that mix any and all of these services
  • Covers typical concerns you will hear with regard to such issues as security, application integration, and structural limitations
  • Looks at the future of clouds, from developments right on the horizon to those still in the planning stage

By the book’s conclusion, you will have a solid basis on which to initiate strategic discussions about deploying clouds in your organization. You will understand how cloud computing can affordably solve real problems. You will know which strategies to use and you will learn of the pitfalls to avoid when taking your data center to the clouds.

Throughout this book are the answers you need to the many questions from the most basic to the more advanced surrounding cloud computing and its place in your enterprise.

  • What exactly is cloud computing?
  • How are clouds different than virtualization?
  • Should my organization use a cloud (or multiple clouds)?
  • Can clouds and virtualization play significant roles in my organization at the same time?

Covering the basics of virtualization and clusters and the more advanced strategic considerations of security and return on investment, this book will be your guide to IT’s present and future in the cloud, a resource that you will continually turn to.

Buch – Executive's Guide to Cloud Computing

Titel: Executive’s Guide to Cloud Computing

Autor: Eric A. Marks, Bob Lozano

Beschreibung:
Your organization can save and thrive in the cloud with this first non-technical guide to cloud computing for business leaders
In less than a decade Google, Amazon, and Salesforce.com went from unknown ideas to powerhouse fixtures in the economic landscape; in even less time offerings such as Linkedin, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and many others also carved out important roles; in less than five years Apple’s iTunes became the largest music retailer in North America.

They all share one key strategic decision – each of these organizations chose to harness the power of cloud computing to power their drives to dominance. With roots in supercomputing and many other technical disciplines, cloud computing is ushering in an entirely new economic reality – technology-enabled enterprises built on low cost, flexible, and limitless technical infrastructures.

The Executive’s Guide to Cloud Computing reveals how you can apply the power of cloud computing throughout your enterprise, giving members of the C-suite a detailed look at:

  • Why cloud computing must be a top priority on your company’s IT roadmaps
  • How the drive for scale, lower costs and greater agility is making cloud computing a fiscal and technological imperative
  • The relationship between cloud computing and other relevant IT initiatives
  • The strategic implications of cloud computing for the enterprise
  • Where to begin and how to get started integrating cloud computing into your existing operations
