    The document discusses cloud computing and grids. It defines grids as large-scale distributed computing infrastructure analogous to an electric power grid. Grids rely on middleware to interface between resources and applications, balancing loads and handling security, accounting and monitoring. Cloud computing refers to applications and hardware/software systems that deliver services over the Internet. It discusses obstacles of cloud computing including availability, data lock-in, confidentiality, and performance unpredictability.

    Student ： Chien-Chen Lai

    1
    Outline
     Grid Introduction
     Cloud Computing

    2
    Outline
     Grid Introduction
     Cloud Computing

    3
    What is a Grid?
     Name “Grid” chosen by analogy with electric power grid.
    (Foster and Kesselman 1997)
     Vision: plug-in computer for processing power just like
    plugging in toaster for electricity.
     Concept has been around for decades
    (distributed computing, metacomputing)
     Key difference with the Grid is to realise the vision on a
    global scale.

    What is a Grid?
     “A computational grid is a hardware and software
    infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent,
    pervasive and inexpensive access to high-end
    computational capabilities”
    Ian Foster & Carl Kesselman, 1998

    5
    Grid architecture
     Network Layer

     Resource Layer

     Middleware Layer

     Application Layer

    6
    Grid middleware
     The Grid relies on advanced
    software, called middleware,
    which interfaces between
    resources and the applications
     Middleware automatically finds
    the data the scientist needs,
    and the computing power to
    analyse it
     Middleware balances the load
    on different resources. It also
    handles security, accounting,
    monitoring and much more

    7
    Grid middleware
     The Grid middleware:
    – Basic services
     Secure and effective access
    to resources
    – High level services
     Optimal use of resources
     Authentication to the different
    sites that are used
     Job execution & monitoring of
    progress
     Problem recovery
     Transfer of results back to the
    user

    Cloud Computing
     The interesting thing about Cloud Computing is that
    we’ve redefined Cloud Computing to include everything
    that we already do. . . . I don’t understand what we would
    do differently in the light of Cloud Computing other than
    change the wording of some of our ads.

    Oracle’s CEO
    Larry Ellison,
    quoted in the Wall Street Journal, September 26, 2008

    10
    Cloud Computing
     A lot of people are jumping on the [cloud] bandwagon,
    but I have not heard two people say the same thing
    about it. There are multiple definitions out there of “the
    cloud.”

    Hewlett-Packard’s Vice President of European Software Sales


    Andy Isherwood,
    quoted in ZDnet News, December 11, 2008

    11
    Why Now, Not Then?
     New Technology Trends and Business Models
    -Web 2.0
    -PayPal
    -Google AdSense
    -AmazonWeb Services
     New Application Opportunities
    -mobile applications
    -Parallel batch processing.

    12
    Cloud Computing
     Cloud Computing refers to both the applications
    delivered as services over the Internet and the hardware
    and systems software in the datacenters that provide
    those services.
     The services themselves have long been referred to as
    Software as a Service (SaaS).
