History of the term Cloud Computing

The term cloud computing was influenced by some fast-growing Internet companies like Amazon , Google  and Yahoo. These companies were providing because of the rapid growth of their user base with the problem of having to hold ever-growing systems (for example, this would be for Amazon Christmas sales) and sufficient performance at peak load times.

For Amazon this peak load in 2006 was higher by a factor of 10 as the base load in daily operations. To address this problem, it was decided to make the architecture and the services that they had to master with the designed in part fluctuating or very high numbers of users and established, to a product that you offer to the outside world, ie that this problem during peak times on the users of the cloud is distributed.

For Amazon this step was the mid-2000s, a logical consequence, since it internally at this time already to small fast-moving teams had changed sides, the new functionalities based on the existing cloud infrastructure implemented. The scale effects of cloud-based services have been so for the product “cloud computing” itself, from which one since there is not only internally but also externally offered.

Definition and levels of Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing describes the approach, abstracted IT infrastructures (computing capacity, data storage, network capacity, or even finished software) dynamically adapted to the needs of a network to provide. From the user point of view, provided abstracted IT infrastructure seems distant and obscure, hidden in a “cloud” to happen. Supply and utilization of these services take place exclusively via defined technical interfaces and protocols . The range of cloud computing as part of services offered covers the complete spectrum of information technology and includes, among other things, infrastructure (such as processing power, disk space), platforms and software.

In simplified terms one can follow the concept can be described as: A part of the IT environment (in this context, such as hardware such as data center , data storage and software ) is on the user side not operated or be provided locally, but with one or more providers hired as a service usually located geographically far away. The applications and data are no longer on the local machine or in the corporate data center, but in the ( metaphorical ) cloud. The design element of an abstract outline of clouds in network diagrams often used to represent an unspecified part of the Internet.

The access to the remote systems of a network, such as that of the Internet is in use. But there are also companies in the context of so-called private clouds, where provision of a corporate intranet is done. Most providers of cloud solutions leverage the pooling effects that arise from the sharing of resources for their business model.
