Google Is a Strong Performer in Enterprise Public Cloud Platforms Excerpted from the Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Public Cloud Platforms, Q4 2014 by John R
FOR CIOS DECEMBER 29, 2014 Google Is A Strong Performer In Enterprise Public Cloud Platforms Excerpted From The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Public Cloud Platforms, Q4 2014 by John R. Rymer and James Staten with Peter Burris, Christopher Mines, and Dominique Whittaker GOOGLE, NOW A FULL-SERVICE PLATFORM, IS RUNNING TO CATCH THE LEADERS Since our last analysis, Google has made significant improvements to its cloud platform — adding an IaaS service, innovated with new big data solutions (based on its homegrown dremel architecture), and added partners. Google is popular among web developers — we estimate that it has between 10,000 and 99,000 customers. But Google Cloud Platform lacks several key certifications, monitoring and security controls, and application services important to CIOs and provided by AWS and Microsoft.1 Google has also been slow to position its cloud platform as the home for applications that want to leverage the broad set of Google services such as Android, AdSense, Search, Maps, and so many other technologies. Look for that to be a key focus in 2015, and for a faster cadence of new features.

Based Services Using XRI-Based Apis for Enabling New E-Business
International Journal of E-Business Development May. 2013, Vol. 3 Iss. 2, PP. 64-74 An Approach for the Composition of Generic Cloud- Based Services Using XRI-Based APIs for Enabling New E-Business Antonio Celesti1, Francesco Tusa2, Massimo Villari3, Antonio Puliafito4 DICIEAMA, Università degli Studi di Messina Contrada Di Dio, S. Agata 98166, Messina, Italia [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract-Nowadays, cloud computing offers more and more business opportunities, and thanks to the concept of virtualization, different types of cost-effective Cloud-based services have been rising. Virtualization of computing, storage, and networking resources, and their interconnection is at the heart of cloud computing, hence enabling new E-Business scenarios. In such a context, APIs for enabling Cloud-based services are strongly required, nevertheless, methods, mechanisms and tools for exploiting virtualized resources and their utilization for developing anything as a service (*aaS) are still ad-hoc and/or proprietary in nature. In this paper, we discuss how to use an adaptive standard protocol, i.e., XRI, for enabling cloud service providers to arrange their own Cloud- based services, building them on top of the IaaS provided by other service providers. Keywords- Cloud Computing; Cloud Management; Federation; Service Composition; E-Business I. INTRODUCTION Today, cloud computing represents a tempting business opportunity for ICT operators of increasing their revenues [1,2]. The cloud ecosystem begins to be clearer and the role played by cloud service providers appears more defined than the past. Moreover, the number of new public, private, and hybrid clouds rising all over the world is continually growing [3]. -
Comparative Study of Eucalyptus, Open Stack and Nimbus
International Journal of Soft Computing and Engineering (IJSCE) ISSN: 2231-2307, Volume-4 Issue-6, January 2015 Comparative Study of Eucalyptus, Open Stack and Nimbus Lakshmi D Kurup, Chandni Chandawalla, Zalak Parekh, Kunjita Sampat Abstract- Cloud computing is a Service Oriented Architecture ii. PaaS (Platform as a Service): A platform as a which reduces information technology overhead for the end-user service (PaaS) offering, usually depicted in all- and provides great flexibility, reduced total cost of ownership, on- cloud diagrams between the SaaS layer above it demand services and many other benefits. Hence it delivers all IT and the IaaS layer below, is a broad collection of related capabilities as services rather than product .Services on application infrastructure (middleware) services cloud are divided into three broad categories: Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service & Platform as a Service. (including application platform, integration, Same as services cloud is also classified as Private Cloud, Public business process management and database Cloud & Hybrid Cloud. Private cloud is gaining popularity, not services). However, the hype surrounding the PaaS only among large organizations but also small and medium concept is focused mainly on application PaaS enterprises. To deploy public or private cloud there are many (aPaaS) as the representative of the whole open source software platforms available such as Eucalyptus, category.

In this paper, we provide a comparative study of software as a service (SaaS) as software that is three open source cloud management platforms: Eucalyptus, owned, delivered and managed remotely by one or OpenStack and Nimbus. -

D1.5 Final Business Models
ITEA 2 Project 10014 EASI-CLOUDS - Extended Architecture and Service Infrastructure for Cloud-Aware Software Deliverable D1.5 – Final Business Models for EASI-CLOUDS Task 1.3: Business model(s) for the EASI-CLOUDS eco-system Editor: Atos, Gearshift Security public Version 1.0 Melanie Jekal, Alexander Krebs, Markku Authors Nurmela, Juhana Peltonen, Florian Röhr, Jan-Frédéric Plogmeier, Jörn Altmann, (alphabetically) Maurice Gagnaire, Mario Lopez-Ramos Pages 95 Deliverable 1.5 – Final Business Models for EASI-CLOUDS v1.0 Abstract The purpose of the business working group within the EASI-CLOUDS project is to investigate the commercial potential of the EASI-CLOUDS platform, and the brokerage and federation- based business models that it would help to enable. Our described approach is both ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’; we begin by summarizing existing studies on the cloud market, and review how the EASI-CLOUDS project partners are positioned on the cloud value chain. We review emerging trends, concepts, business models and value drivers in the cloud market, and present results from a survey targeted at top cloud bloggers and cloud professionals. We then review how the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure components create value both directly and by facilitating brokerage and federation. We then examine how cloud market opportunities can be grasped through different business models. Specifically, we examine value creation and value capture in different generic business models that may benefit from the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure. We conclude by providing recommendations on how the different EASI-CLOUDS demonstrators may be commercialized through different business models. © EASI-CLOUDS Consortium. 2 Deliverable 1.5 – Final Business Models for EASI-CLOUDS v1.0 Table of contents Table of contents ........................................................................................................................... -
Tools for Cloud Infrastructure: Build & Release
Tools for Cloud Infrastructure: Build & Release With source code management tools like Git, we can easily version the code and retrieve the same bits we saved in the past. This saves a lot of time and helps developers automate most of the non-coding activities, like creating automated builds, running tests, etc. Extending the same analogy to infrastructure would allow us to create a reproducible deployment environment, which is referred to as Infrastructure as a Code. Infrastructure as a Code helps us create a near production-like environment for development, staging, etc. With some tooling around them, we can also the create same environments on different cloud providers. By combining Infrastructure as a Code with versioned software, we are guaranteed to have a re-producible build and release environment every time. In this chapter we will take a look into two such tools: Terraform and BOSH. Introduction to Terraform Terraform is a tool that allows us to define the infrastructure as code. This helps us deploy the same infrastructure on VMs, bare metal or cloud. It helps us treat the infrastructure as software. The configuration files can be written in HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language). Terraform Providers Physical machines, VMs, network switches, containers, etc. are treated as resources, which are exposed by providers. A provider is responsible for understanding API interactions and exposing resources, which makes Terraform agnostic to the underlying platforms. A custom provider can be created through plugins. Terraform has providers in different stacks: IaaS: AWS, DigitalOcean, GCE, OpenStack, etc. PaaS: Heroku, CloudFoundry, etc. SaaS: Atlas, DNSimple, etc. Features According to the Terraform website, it has following "key features: Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. -
