• Much broader conceptencompassesIIAS, PAAS, SAAS

• Dynamic provision of services/resource pools in a coordinated fashion

• On demand computing - No waiting period

• Location of resource is irrelevant

• relevant from performance(network latency) perspective, data locality

• Applications run somewhere on the cloud

• Web applications fulfill these for end user

• However, for application developers and IT

• Allows develop, deploy and run applications that can easily grow capacity(scalability), work fast(performance), and offer good reliability

• Without concern for the nature and location of underlying infrastructure

• Activate, retire resources

• Dynamically update infrastructure elements without affecting the business

• Agility: On demand computing infrastructure

• Linearly scalable - challenge

• Reliability and fault tolerance

• Self healing - Hot backups, etc

• SLA driven - Policies on how quickly requests are processed

• Multi-tenancy: Several customers share infrastructure, without compromising privacy and security of each customer's data

• Service-oriented : compose applications out of loosely coupled services.

• One service failure will not disrupt other services.

• Expose these services as API's

• Virtualized - decoupled from underlying hardware.

• Multiple applications can run in one computer

• Data, Data, Data

• Distributing, partitioning, security, and synchronization

• Within the boundaries (firewall) of the organization

• High level Security - digital signature, encryption and decryption using DSA 1024 bit.

• Reduce operation costs

• Has to be managed by the enterprise

• Fine grained control over resources

• More secure as they are internal to the organization

• Schedule and reshuffle resources based on business demands

• Ideal for apps related to tight security and regulatory concerns

• Development requires hardware investment and in-house expertise

• Cost could be prohibitive and might exceed public clouds

• Cloud Computing IT Services through Knowledge Productsdesigned, developed and offered in J2EE Platform in C, C++ and Embedded Systems and Microsoft .NET environment

• Virtual e-Govern: e-Governance and ERP domain

• Virtual Tele-ED: Education domain

• Virtual MediX: Healthcare and Tele-medicine domain

• Virtual KCC: Call center, BPO and Multi-party video conferencing and Multimedia tele-conferencing solutions

• Virtual K Presence:HDVT (High-Definition Virtual Tele-presence)
