New Infrastructure

Cloud computing has recently emerged as a new model for hosting and delivering services over the internet. Cloud computing has many advantages, such as the ability to increase capacity or add capabilities without the need to invest in new infrastructure. It can also fulfil technological requirements in a fast and automated manner. In recent years, cloud computing has changed the IT industry; in fact, it is one of the industry's fastest growing phenomena. However, as more information about people and businesses becomes available in the cloud, concerns about the safety of this environment will increase. In addition, some challenges to the use of this service exist. This paper presents the results of a survey about cloud computing and outlines the main concepts of the technology along with examples of appropriate usage. It also discusses resource management issues such as service level agreements and highlights the challenges faced by users when choosing cloud computing services.

Cloud Computing is not a revolution; it’s an evolution of computer science and technology emerging by leaps and bounds, in order to merge all computer science tools and technologies. Cloud Computing technology is hottest to do research and explore new horizons of next generations of Computer Science. There are number of cloud services providers (Amazon EC2), Rackspace Cloud, Terremark and Google Compute Engine) but still enterprises and common users have a number of concerns over cloud service providers. Still there is lot of weakness, challenges and issues are barrier for cloud service providers in order to provide cloud services according to SLA (Service Level agreement). Especially, service provisioning according to SLAs is core objective of each cloud service provider with maximum performance as per SLA. We have identified those challenges issues, as well as proposed new methodology as “SLA (Service Level Agreement) Driven Orchestration Based New Methodology for Cloud Computing Services”. Currently, cloud service providers are using “orchestrations” fully or partially to automate service provisioning but we are trying to integrate and drive orchestration flows from SLAs. It would be new approach to provision cloud service and deliver cloud service as per SLA, satisfying QoS standards.

Hierarchy Process

Cloud computing has become a popular topic for exploration in both academic and industrial research in recent years. In this paper, network behavior is analyzed to assess and compare the costs and risks associated with traditional local servers versus those associated with cloud computing to determine the appropriate deployment strategy. An analytic framework of a deployment strategy that involves two mathematical models and the analytical hierarchy process is proposed to analyze the costs and service level agreements of services involving using traditional local servers and platform as service platforms in the cloud. Two websites are used as test sites to analyze the costs and risks of deploying services inGoogle App Engine(GAE) (1) the website ofInformation and Finance of Management(IFM) at theNational Chiao Tung University(NCTU) and (2) the NCTU website. If the examined websites were deployed in GAE, NCTU would save over 83.34% of the costs associated with using a traditional local server with low risk. Therefore, both the IFM and NCTU websites can be served appropriately in the cloud. Based on this strategy, a suggestion is proposed for managers and professionals.

Leading Enterprises

The cloud computing has given services to the users throughout the world during recent years. The cloud computing services have been founded according to ‘As-Pay-You-Go’ model and some leading enterprises give these services. The giving these cloud-computing services has been developed every day and these requirements necessitate for more infrastructures and Internet providers (IPs). The nodes of data centers consume a lot of energy in cloud structure and disseminate noticeable amount of carbon dioxide into the environment. We define a framework and structure for cloud environment of efficient energy in the present paper. We examine the present problems and challenges based on this structure and then present and model management algorithms and source allocation in cloud computing environment in order to manage energy in addition to considering Service Level Agreement. The proposed algorithm has been implemented by cloudsim simulator where the obtained results from simulation of real-time data indicate that the proposed method is superior to previous techniques in terms of energy consumption and observance of Service Level Agreement. Similarly, number of live migration of virtual machines and quantity of transferred data has been improved.

Demand Service

On-demand service is one of the most important characteristics of cloud computing. Cloud-computing services should dynamically and timely deliver computing resources, storage resources and network resources etc. to consumers according to user needs, and service level should be able to meet quality of service. Users only need to pay on demand; otherwise they have to maintain sufficient resources just in order to meet peak requirements, which can be costly. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of Auto-Scaling system and illustrate its system architecture, components and scaling algorithm. Finally, we test the system and the results show that it can be capable of handling sudden load surges, delivering resources to users on demand, saving cost for users and improving resource utilization.

Cloud Computing Services

The privacy, handling, management and security of information in a cloud environment are complex and tedious tasks to achieve. With minimum investment and reduced cost of operations an organization can avail and apply the benefits of cloud computing into its business. This computing paradigm is based upon a pay as per your usage model. Moreover, security, privacy, compliance, risk management and service level agreement are critical issues in cloud computing environment. In fact, there is dire need of a model which can tackle and handle all the security and privacy issues. Therefore, we suggest a CSPCR model for evaluating the preparation of an organization to handle or to counter the threats, hazards in cloud computing environment. CSPCR discusses rules and regulations which are considered as pre-requisites in migrating or shifting to cloud computing services.

In order to solve the trust problems between users and cloud computing service providers in cloud computing services, the existing trust evaluation technology and access control technology in the cloud computing service are analyzed. And the evaluation index of cloud computing is also analyzed. Users can calculate the relevant indicators of cloud computing service according to their own business goals, and choose the appropriate cloud computing services according to their own trust need. In addition, the reliability assessment method of users based on the service process is proposed. Cloud computing access control system can be used for user credibility evaluation, and it can handle user access requests according to user's creditability. In the study, a cloud computing service trust evaluation tool is designed, and the modeling and architecture designs of trust evaluation are also given. The effectiveness of the method is verified by experiments on cloud computing service evaluation methods.
