Abstract
"Cloud computing" has increasingly become a term that
people are concerned, because it represents the future
of the information age. So, what is cloud computing ?
What is the use of cloud computing?How will it change
the world?Here there are many issues waiting for answers.
Although many issues are now may not have complete answers,
but this article tries to analyze the origin of cloud
computing and cloud computing with the grid computing,
Web2.0, ubiquitous computing relationship to illustrate
the history,development and future of cloud computing.
The first scholarly use of the term “cloud computing”
was in a 1997 lecture by Ramnath Chellappa.In 1983,Sun
Microsystems made "The Network is the computer".Until
around 2006, Cloud Computing the word began to appear
occasionally in the media magazine. March 2006,Amazon
released Elastic Compute Cloud- EC2 service.
August 9, 2006, Google Chief Executive Officer Eric
Schmidtfirst proposed the concept of Cloud Computing at the
Search Engine Conference (SES San Jose 2006).The end of 2007,
Cloud Computing the frequency is increasing rapidly. Google
and IBM promoted cloud computing project in the U.S. college
campuses, including Carnegie Mellon University,MIT, Stanford
University, University of California at Berkeley and the
University of Maryland, etc., , IBM and Google, two companies
each to contribute 2000 to 2500 million U.S.dollars.Provided
approximately 400 advance about the computer, and plans to
eventually place a total of more than 4,000 computer
equipment. These computers connected with six universities,
including University of Washington in Seattle, the
University take part as thelead research and development
programming. This project hopes to reduce academic research
costs of the distributed computing technology, and provide
relevant software and hardware equipment and technical support
for these universities. (Including hundreds of personal
computers and Blade Center and System X servers,these computing
platform will provide 1600 processors, support includes Linux,
Xen, Hadoop and other open-source platform). The Students can
develop the web-based large-scale computing research projects.
In early 2008,Cloud Computing in the Chinese language began to
be translated as “云计算”or“曇端計算”.
(1)Source of cloud computing - Amazon EC2 product
In fact, Em2 product launches than IBM, Google early. Although
Amazon EC2 is a heavyweight product in the cloud computing
market.But in 2006 and 2007, the Amazon's own influence is very
limited in the world.So the Amazon EC2 cloud product to the
popularity of the concept is less than IBM-Google project
attention. But this does not prevent the EC2 cloud computing
products as a pioneer status in the world. Although the early
development of the concept of cloud computing, Amazon on the
popularity of the concept of little contribution, but with the
development of cloud computing,Amazon's strength and the level
is higher than the IBM and Google from the beginning in the
cloud computing areas.
August 2006, Amazon released EC2 Beta version of the product,
had previously published another important product S3.EC2 is
an abbreviation of Elastic Compute Cloud.S3 means Simple
Storage Service.The release time of EC2 called Simple Compute
Service is not the name of a class, but the product name into
the Cloud,Cloud is recognized as an alternative to the concept
of service.Of course, called Elastic Compute Cloud Computing
is clearly inappropriate. The original reports on the EC2
product launches,including one to the title as the "Amazon
Cloud Computing goes Beta", most of the other described as
Utility, Elastic, Virtualized.
October 2007, with IBM and Google are some of the projects
themselves as cloud computing, cloud computing began to spread
rapidly (within limited IT). At that time, IBM, Google parallel
computing project is still in the research and scientific
purposes, the customer only to find EC2 is a very commercial
cloud computing product. As Amazon's AWS products include a lot
of cloud computing services, which also laid the Amazon as a
cloud computing market leader position.
(2)Definition of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing, this is a very cool web application model.
The proposal of the concept,to overturn the traditional concept
of the Internet world.Cloud computing refers to the narrow IT
infrastructure, delivery and usage patterns, refers to the
network to on-demand, and scalable way to get the necessary
resources; generalized cloud computing refers to the mode of
service delivery and use of means to on-demand through the
network,Easy way to obtain the necessary expansion of services.
This service can be IT and software, Internet-related,can be
any other services, it has a very large scale, virtualization,
security, reliable unique effect.
