The Cost

With the recent advancement in computing technologies, business and research applications are not only executed in the traditional systems such as enterprise systems and supercomputers (HPC systems) but also in the cloud. The traditional HPC systems are expensive and sometimes require huge start-up investment, technical and administrative support and job queuing. With the benefits of cloud computing, cloud services such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Hardware as a Service (HaaS), enables business, scientists and researchers to run their business and HPC applications in the cloud without upfront investment associated with the traditional infrastructures. Therefore, in this paper we analyze the computational performance and dollar cost of running HPC applications in the cloud when IaaS or HaaS is leased. We find that HaaS significantly reduces the cost of running HPC application in the cloud by 20% compare to IaaS without significant impact to application's performance. We also found that there is a substantial improvement in computational performance in HaaS compare to IaaS.

Cloud computing is the computing technology which provides resources like software, hardware, services over the internet. Cloud computing provides computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end- user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. Cloud computing enables the user and organizations to store their data remotely and enjoy good quality applications on the demand without having any burden associated with local hardware resources and software managements but it possesses a new security risk towards correctness of data stored at cloud. The data storage in the cloud has been a promising issue in these days. This is due to the fact that the users are storing their valuable data and information in the cloud. The users should trust the cloud service providers to provide security for their data. Cloud storage services avoid the cost storage services avoids the cost expensive on software, personnel maintains and provides better performance less storage cost and scalability, cloud services through internet which increase their exposure to storage security vulnerabilities however security is one of the major drawbacks that preventing large organizations to enter into cloud computing environment. This work surveyed on several storage techniques and this advantage and its drawbacks.

The Way

Cloud computing is the way of computing, where all the computing resources are available as a service over the internet based on requirements of the users. Virtualization is the concept which plays very important role in reducing the cost of investment and increases utilization and allows multi-tenancy. This concept helps to create virtual resources out of existing physical resources. When the virtual resources are created, they may face the problems due to various reasons and may not work properly. Providing the protection to these virtual resources and make them to work without any problem is the important. Here we introduce an approach called duplication method which allows the users to create more number of same virtual resources, so that if one of the resources fail due to some reason, users may have some more same resources to continue without disturbing their work and provide the security at different levels to make Virtual resources secure.

Method of broadcasting is the well known operation that is used for providing support to different computing protocols in cloud computing. Attaining energy efficiency is one of the prominent challenges, that is quite significant in the scheduling process that is used in cloud computing as, there are fixed limits that have to be met by the system. In this research paper, we are particularly focusing on the cloud server maintenance and scheduling process and to do so, we are using the interactive broadcasting energy efficient computing technique along with the cloud computing server. Additionally, the remote host machines used for cloud services are dissipating more power and with that they are consuming more and more energy. The effect of the power consumption is one of the main factors for determining the cost of the computing resources. With the idea of using the avoidance technology for assigning the data center resources that dynamically depend on the application demands and supports the cloud computing with the optimization of the servers in use.

The Garch Model

Cloud Computing offers significant cost benefits for SMEs that often do not manage internal IT infrastructure and start-up companies that do not have their own IT infrastructure. This paper presents a total cost of ownership (TCO) approach for cloud computing services with an emphasis on the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) model. Also, the paper presents a methodology for estimating total cost of ownership (TCO) when running computer instances in the IaaS cloud using the GARCH model to predict transaction volatility. The research results show that it is possible to successfully use GARCH models when there is historical data on the number of transactions. In addition, simulation shows that, when there are large oscillations in the number of transactions, the best choice is to reserve instances according to the Partial-Upfront price model. In contrast, if the transaction number is relatively stable, the best choice is the All-Upfront model.
