Cloud computing is a new paradigm that promises to move IT a step further towards utility computing, in which computing services are delivered as a utility service. Traditionally, Cloud employs dedicated resources located in one or more data centres in order to provide services to clients. Desktop Cloud computing is a new type of Cloud computing that aims at providing Cloud capabilities at low or no cost. Desktop Clouds harness non dedicated and idle resources in order to provide Cloud services. However, the nature of such resources can be problematic because they are prone to failure at any time without prior notice. This research focuses on the resource allocation mechanism in Desktop Clouds.The contributions of this chapter are threefold. Firstly, it defines and explains Desktop Clouds by comparing them with both Traditional Clouds and Desktop Grids. Secondly, the paper discusses various research issues in Desktop Clouds. Thirdly, it proposes a resource allocation model that is able to handle node failures.

The Cloud Computing (CC) provides access to the resources with usage based payments model. The application service providers can seamlessly scale the services. In CC infrastructure, a different number of virtual machine instances can be created depending on the application requirements. The capability to scale Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application is very attractive to the providers because of the potential to scale application resources to up or down, the user only pay for the resources required. Even though the large-scale applications are deployed on cloud infrastructures on pay-per-use basis, the cost of idle resources (memory, CPU) is still charged to application providers. The issues of saturation and wastage of cloud resources are still unresolved. This paper attempts to propose the resource allocation models for SaaS applications deployments over CC platforms. The best balanced resource allocation model is proposed keeping in view cost and user requirements.
