商品描述

Most of the information available on cloud computing is either highly technical, with details that are irrelevant to non-technologists, or pure marketing hype, in which the cloud is simply a selling point. This book, however, explains the cloud from the user's viewpoint -- the business user's in particular. Nayan Ruparelia explains what the cloud is, when to use it (and when not to), how to select a cloud service, how to integrate it with other technologies, and what the best practices are for using cloud computing.

Cutting through the hype, Ruparelia cites the simple and basic definition of cloud computing from the National Institute of Science and Technology: a model enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Thus with cloud computing, businesses can harness information technology resources usually available only to large enterprises. And this, Ruparelia demonstrates, represents a paradigm shift for business. It will ease funding for startups, alter business plans, and allow big businesses greater agility.

Ruparelia discusses the key issues for any organization considering cloud computing: service level agreements, business service delivery and consumption, finance, legal jurisdiction, security, and social responsibility. He introduces novel concepts made possible by cloud computing: cloud cells, or specialist clouds for specific uses; the personal cloud; the cloud of things; and cloud service exchanges. He examines use case patterns in terms of infrastructure and platform, software information, and business process; and he explains how to transition to a cloud service. Current and future users will find this book an indispensable guide to the cloud.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

大部分關於雲端運算的資訊要麼過於技術性,對非技術人員來說並不相關,要麼純粹是市場炒作,將雲端僅僅作為一個銷售點。然而,這本書從使用者的角度解釋了雲端運算,尤其是商業使用者的角度。Nayan Ruparelia解釋了雲端是什麼,何時使用它(以及何時不使用),如何選擇雲端服務,如何將其與其他技術整合,以及使用雲端運算的最佳實踐方法。

Ruparelia通過引用國家科學技術研究所對雲端運算的簡單基本定義,揭示了雲端運算的真正含義:一種模型,能夠實現對共享可配置計算資源的普遍、便利、按需網絡訪問。因此,通過雲端運算,企業可以利用通常僅供大型企業使用的資訊技術資源。Ruparelia證明,這將對商業產生範式轉變。它將為初創企業提供資金支持,改變商業計劃,並使大企業更具靈活性。

Ruparelia討論了任何考慮使用雲端運算的組織所面臨的關鍵問題:服務水平協議、商業服務交付和消費、財務、法律管轄權、安全性和社會責任。他介紹了雲端運算所可能實現的新概念:雲單元,即針對特定用途的專業雲;個人雲;物聯網雲;以及雲服務交換。他從基礎設施和平台、軟體資訊和業務流程的角度檢視了使用案例模式;並解釋了如何過渡到雲端服務。現在和未來的使用者將會發現這本書是對雲端運算不可或缺的指南。
