Even though public cloud providers already exist and offer computing and storage services, cloud computing is still a buzzword for scientists in various fields such as engineering, finance, social sciences, etc. These technologies are currently mature enough to leave the experimental laboratory in order to be used in real-life scenarios. To this end, the authors consider that the prime example use case of cloud computing is a web hosting service. This paper presents the architectural approach as well as the technical solution for applying elastic web hosting onto a private cloud infrastructure using only free software. Through several available software applications and tools, anyone can build their own private cloud on top of a local infrastructure and benefit from the dynamicity and scalability provided by the cloud approach.

Cloud computing telah menjadi hal yang menarik untuk dibahas dikarenakan perkembangannya yang begitu pesat sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan mulai tahun 2000. Pemanfaatan cloud computing kepada penyimpanan data, pemakaian software secara bersama- sama serta penggunaan infrastruktur dan hardware pada jaringan atau komputer yang tergabung dalam sebuah cloud computing. Dengan cloud computing diharapkan adanya efesiensi dan kemudahan dalam  sumber daya baik software, data maupun hardware agar dapat digunakan bersama – sama. Perancangan cloud computing untuk laboratorium komputer Teknik Elektro Universitas Bangka Belitung bertujuan sebagai rancangan awal untuk pengembangan laboratorium komputer serta sebagai pusat pembelajaran dan penelitian cloud computing bagi mahasiswa Teknik Elektro. Perancangan cloud computing ini menggunakan metode Software as a Service (SaaS) dimana SaaS adalah layanan dari Cloud Computing dimana memakai software (perangkat lunak) yang telah disediakan sehingga tidak perlu setiap komputer di laboratorium menginstall software yang diperlukan selama tersedia di layanan Cloud Computing. Rancangan cloud computing di laboratorium menggunakan Private Cloud Computing merupakan pemodelan Cloud Computing yang memberikan lingkup yang lebih kecil untuk dapat memberikan layanan kepada pengguna tertentu misalnya pada sebuah jaringan komputer  lokal maupun pada skala perusahaan kecil maupun menengah.

For several years cloud computing has been generating considerable debate and interest within IT corporations. Since cloud computing environments provide storage and processing systems that are adaptable, efficient, and straightforward, thereby enabling rapid infrastructure modifications to be made according to constantly varying workloads, organizations of every size and type are migrating to web-based cloud supported solutions. Due to the advantages of the pay-per-use model and scalability factors, current video on demand (VoD) streaming services rely heavily on cloud infrastructures to offer a large variety of multimedia content. Recent well documented failure events in commercial VoD services have demonstrated the fundamental importance of maintaining high availability in cloud computing infrastructures, and hierarchical modeling has proved to be a useful tool for evaluating the availability of complex systems and services. This paper presents an availability model for a video streaming service deployed in a private cloud environment which includes redundancy mechanisms in the infrastructure. Differential sensitivity analysis was applied to identify and rank the critical components of the system with respect to service availability. The results demonstrate that such a modeling strategy combined with differential sensitivity analysis can be an attractive methodology for identifying which components should be supported with redundancy in order to consciously increase system dependability.

On the basis of cloud computing introduction, the significance of cloud computing on library development is led out. It introduces several kinds of clouds applied in libraries at present—library carried on public cloud, library carried on private cloud and library carried on mixed cloud. It shows several patterns of cloud computing used in library—Internet carrying pattern, center-branch pattern and mixed pattern. Finally, the application pattern frame of library cloud computing is drawn up..

The rise of Cloud Computing represents one of the most significant shifts in Information technology in the last 5 years and promises to revolutionise how we view the availability and consumption of computing storage and processing resources. However, it is well-known that along with the benefits of Cloud Computing, it also presents a number of security issues that have restricted its deployment to date. This chapter reviews the potential vulnerabilities of Cloud-based architectures and uses this as the foundation to define a set of requirements for reassessing risk management in Cloud Computing. To fulfill these requirements, the authors propose a new scheme for the real-time assessment and auditing of risk in cloud-based applications and explore this with the use case of a triage application.

This chapter presents the need, the requirements, and the design for a monitoring system that is suitable for supporting the operations and management of a Federated Cloud environment. The chapter discusses these issues within the context of the RESERVOIR Service Cloud computing project. It first presents the RESERVOIR architecture itself, then introduces the issues of service monitoring in a federated environment, together with the specific solutions that have been devised for RESERVOIR. It ends with a review of the authors’ experience in this area by showing a use-case application executing on RESERVOIR, which is responsible for the computational prediction of organic crystal structures.
