 Introduction
“As of now, computer networks are still in their infancy, but as
they grow up and become sophisticated, we will probably see
the spread of ‘computer utilities’ which, like present electric
and telephone utilities, will service individual homes and
offices across the country.”
Leonard Kleinrock
 Introduction
• New Computing Paradigms
– Cluster Computing
– Grid Computing
– P2P Computing
– Service Computing
– Cloud Computing
 Cloud
"A Cloud is a type of parallel and distributed
system consisting of a collection of interconnected
and virtualised computers that are dynamically
provisioned and presented as one or more unified
computing resources based on service-level
agreements established through negotiation
between the service provider and consumers.”
 Market Oriented Cloud Architecture
• Need
– Consumers will require different QoS to be
maintained by their providers.
– Providers will need to consider and meet different
QoS parameter of each individual consumer
– So market oriented resource management is
necessary to regulate the supply and demand
cloud resources at market equilibrium.
Market Oriented Cloud Architecture
 Market Oriented Cloud Architecture
• Users/Brokers :
– Submit service request from any where in the
world.
• SLA Resource Allocator :
– Interface between cloud provider and users.
SLA Resource Allocator
Emerging Cloud Platforms
 Amazon EC2

• Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

• Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
• EC2 Uses XEN Virtual Machine
• Virtual Os :Linux, Solaris, Windows
• Simple Storage Service
• Elastic IP address
• Amazon Cloud Watch
• Realiability
 Google App Engine

• For developing and hosting web application in

google managed datacenter
• Automatic scaling*
• Free up to certain level of consumption
• Support for python, java, and Go
• Restrictions
 Microsoft Live Mesh
• Access stuffs on your computer from almost
anywhere
• Free to use internet based file synchronization
application
• Remote desktop access via internet
 Sun Grid
• Now Know as oracle Grid
• Open source batch queuing system
• Used on computer farm or high performance
computing cluster
Global Cloud Exchange and Markets
 Limitations of present service
providers
• Inflexible pricing
• Consumers are restricted to offering from a
single provider at a time
• Unable to swap one provider for another
• No standard interface
Global Cloud Exchange
 Global Cloud Exchange
• Market directory
• Banking system
• Brokers
• Price setting mechanism
• Admission control mechanism
• Resource management system
• Consumers utility function
• Resource management proxy
 Challenges
• Unwillingness to shift from traditional
controlled environment
• Regulatory pressure
• How to obtain restitution in case of SLA
violation
