1. Abstract.

   The term "Cloud Computing" has been mentioned for just under two years in relation to services or infrastructural resources, which can be contracted over a network. Thus, the idea of renting instead of buying IT is nothing new.
And so, Cloud Computing has many antecedents and equally as many attempts to define it. The players in the large world of clouds are Software as a Service providers, outsourcing and hosting providers, network and IT infrastructure providers and, above all, the companies whose names are closely linked with the Internet's commercial boom. But, all these services in combination outline the complete package known as Cloud Computing – depending on the source with the appropriate focus.
    That which long ago established itself in the private environment of the Internet is now, noticeably, coming to the attention of businesses too. Not only developers and startups but also large companies with international activities recognize that there is more to Cloud Computing than just marketing hype. Cloud Computing offers the opportunity to access IT resources and services with appreciable convenience and speed. Behind this primarily, is a solution that provides users with services that can be drawn upon on demand and invoiced as and when used. Suppliers of cloud services, in turn, benefit as their IT resources are used more fully and eventually achieve additional economies of scale.
   There are substantial arguments for the adoption of Cloud Computing: the lasting improvement of cost structures, faster reaction to changes in the market and potential for increases in productivity. Cloud Computing offers flexibility whilst simultaneously reducing costs – with the positive side effect of sustainability.

   

   “The data center of the future could be based in the cloud.”
                               (Jason Staten, Forrester) [Herrmann 2008] 

   However, much of Cloud Computing is still a vision. This becomes especially evident if large companies wish to make use of the possibilities. Then, at the latest, questions arise about security and quality of service or, subsequently,whether the proffered services can also effectively meet the company demands of supporting the business processes.Legal aspects such as the storage of data swiftly become more weighted. Professional providers of Cloud Computing for enterprise customers must not only meet these challenges, but also develop concepts in order to do so in a transparent,
cost-effective manner.

2. Introduction to Cloud Computing.

2.1. A historical background.
It is conceivable that August 24, 2006 will go down as the birthday of Cloud Computing, as it was on this day that Amazon made the test version of its Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) public [Business Week 2006]. This offer, providing flexible IT resources (computing capacity), marks a definitive milestone in dynamic business relations between IT users and providers. The target of Amazon’s offer were developers, who had no wish to hold their own IT infrastructure, and instead, hired the existing infrastructure from Amazon via Internet. Nobody at this time spoke of Cloud Computing yet. The term first became popular in 2007, to which the first entry in the English Wikipedia from March 3, 2007 attests, which, again significantly, contained a reference to utility computing.
    Around this time, Dell attempted to trademark the word mark. This was successful in July, but the permission was revoked only a few days later.In 2008, there as a glut of active parties in the increasingly popular field of Cloud Computing. Today, Cloud Computing generates over 10.3 million matches on Google. The scope of Cloud Computing grew from simple infrastructure services such as storage and calculation resources to include applications. However, this meant that forerunners such
as application service providing and Software as a Service would also henceforth be included under the designation of Cloud Computing.
At the bottom of these developments was the eventual shifting of IT services away from local computers to the Internet or, generally speaking, in networks. Eventually, Cloud Computing realized an idea that had already been hit upon by Sun Microsystems long before the Cloud Computing hype: The network will be the computer.

“Cloud Computing is more an evolution than a revolution.”

   Existing technology such as grid computing, utility computing or adaptive computing mark the infrastructure path leading to Cloud Computing; application service providing and Software-as-a-Service signify the growth towards the provision of programmes.

    

 In present discussions about Cloud Computing, it is often ignored that high-performance networks represent an essential basis of the cloud construct. Consequently, the starting point of Cloud Computing would have to be linked with the development of the Internet. The various accesses to and views of Cloud Computing, and its respective origins led to differing definitions and to its strongly diverging public perception. The significance of the topic, however, became evident, in that not only specialized media were writing about it, but also popular magazines.

2.2. Definitions.
Whoever wishes to find an all-encompassing definition for the term "Cloud Computing" faces an almost impossible task. According to the field of interest, software, service or infrastructure providers highlight different aspects. Hence, at Salesforce.com, the cloud vision brings to mind the well-known paradigm of Software as a Service (SaaS). IBM, on the other hand, is raising itself to the front line of the underlying IT infrastructure with "Blue Cloud". "The cloud takes as its basis a combination of grid computing, where pure processing power is involved, and SaaS“, states Dennis Byron, an analyst at market research company Research 2.0, in turn.

   Gartner sees a great potential for change accompanying the concept, describing it succinctly as "Provision of scalable IT services via the Internet for a potentially large number of external customers“. Its competitor, Forrester Research, interviewed around 30 companies from within the new market segment to develop a definition. According to the results, "Cloud Computing" refers to a "pool of abstract, highly scalable and administrated IT infrastructure, which provides for customer applications and is invoiced based on use." Frank Sempert, too, from the market research and consultancy house Saugatuck Technology refers to this distinction. "While SaaS providers only concentrated on applications, cloud providers bundled together a whole series of components for the customers. These include, amongst others, network, calculation and storage resources and the corresponding agreements with suppliers." The bottom line is that cloud is joining the whole IT world together [Herrmann 2008].
   What all of the definitions have in common, is that behind the term "Cloud Computing", the theoretical and still today, abstract concept for the wider market, are IT applications, IT platforms and IT infrastructures on demand, scalable and standardized as services at the disposal of a user over the Internet, in which ressources are not physically available from the provider, but applications, calculating and storage capacity from a pool of products – metaphorically known as the “cloud” – are available over the Internet.
   According to this basic understanding, we will attempt to give a consolidated definition as a starting point for this white paper. Our focus is not limited to the purely IT aspects, but broadened to include all telecommunications services. Therefore, Cloud Computing is seen as an offer for all ICT requirements.

Our definition:
   “We understand Cloud Computing to be the renting of infrastructure and software, as well as bandwidths, under defined service conditions. These components should be able to be adjusted daily to the needs of the customer and offered with the utmost availability and security. Included in Cloud Computing are end-2-end service level agreements (SLAs) and use-dependent service invoices.”

Click Definition of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive.

There is an entirely different "cloud" when it comes to business. Some businesses choose to implement Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), where the business subscribes to an application it accesses over the Internet. (Think Salesforce.com.) There's also Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), where a business can create its own custom applications for use by all in the company.

(For example, Netflix provides services to you because it's a customer of the cloud-services at Amazon.)

Of course, cloud computing is big business: The market was already generating $100 billion a year in 2012.

Click Hybrid _ Cloud

A combined form of private clouds and public clouds in which some critical data resides in the enterprise’s private cloud while other data is stored in and accessible from a public cloud. Hybrid clouds seek to deliver the advantages of scalability, reliability, rapid deployment and potential cost savings of public clouds with the security and increased control and management of private clouds.

Private cloud is the phrase used to describe a cloud computing platform that is implemented within the corporate firewall, under the control of the IT department.

A private cloud is designed to offer the same features and benefits of public cloud systems, but removes a number of objections to the cloud computing model including control over enterprise and customer data, worries about security, and issues connected to regulatory compliance.

       Private Cloud Security

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/private_cloud.html

A private cloud implementation aims to avoid many of the objections regarding cloud computing security. Because a private cloud setup is implemented safely within the corporate firewall, a private cloud provides more control over the company's data, and it ensures security, albeit with greater potential risk for data loss due to natural disaster.

Some other major examples of cloud computing you're probably using:

Google Drive: This is a pure cloud computing service, with all the storage found online so it can work with the cloud apps: Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. Drive is also available on more than just desktop computers; you can use it on tablets like the iPad or on smartphones, and there are separate apps for Docs and Sheets, as well. In fact, most of Google's services could be considered cloud computing: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Maps, and so on.

Apple iCloud: Apple's cloud service is primarily used for online storage, backup, and synchronization of your mail, contacts, calendar, and more. All the data you need is available to you on your iOS, Mac OS, or Windows device (Windows users have to install the iCloud control panel). Naturally, Apple won't be outdone by rivals: it offers cloud-based versions of its word processor (Pages), spreadsheet (Numbers), and presentations (Keynote) for use by any iCloud subscriber. iCloud is also the place iPhone users go to utilze the Find My iPhone feature that's all important when the phone goes missing.

Amazon Cloud Drive: Storage at the big retailer is mainly for music, preferably MP3s that you purchase from Amazon, and images—if you have Amazon Prime, you get unlimited image storage. The Cloud Drive also holds anything you buy for the Kindle. It's essentially storage for anything digital you'd buy from Amazon, baked into all its products and services.

Hybrid services like Box, Dropbox, and SugarSync all say they work in the cloud because they store a synced version of your files online, but most also sync those files with local storage. Synchronization to allow all your devices to access the same data is a cornerstone of the cloud computing experience, even if you do access the file locally.

Likewise, it's considered cloud computing if you have a community of people with separate devices that need the same data synched, be it for work collaboration projects or just to keep the family in sync. For more, check out the The Best Cloud Storage Services for 2015.

Cloud Hardware

Right now, the primary example of a device that is completely cloud-centric is the Chromebook. These are laptops that have just enough local storage and power to run the Chrome OS, which is essentially turning the Google Chrome Web browser into an operating system. With a Chromebook, most everything you do is online: apps, media, and storage are all in the cloud.
