Cloud Computing and Software Services: Theory and Techniques (Hardcover)

Thanks to its inherent resilience to failure and the increasing availability of open-source cloud infrastructure software and virtualization software stacks, services delivered from the cloud have expanded past web applications to include storage, raw computing, and access to specialized services. The possibility of satisfying maintenance and technical support needs by leasing services from commercial cloud infrastructures has also generated a new wave of interest in the cost and efficiency enhancements cloud computing can bring to organizations big and small.

Whether you’re already in the cloud, or determining whether or not it makes sense for your organization, Cloud Computing and Software Services: Theory and Techniques provides you with the technical understanding needed to develop and maintain state-of-the-art cloud computing and software services. From basic concepts and recent research findings to future directions, it gathers the insight of 50 experts from around the world to present the most up-to-date global perspective on the broad range of technical topics related to cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS). The book also:

• Reviews real cases and applications of cloud computing
• Discusses the infrastructure cloud and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Considers the cloud and data- and compute-intensive environments
• Examines security and reliability in the cloud

Witten in a manner that makes this complex subject easy to understand, this is an ideal one-stop reference for anyone interested in cloud computing. The accessible language and wealth of illustrations also make it suitable for academic or research-oriented settings. The comprehensive coverage supplies you with the up-to-date understanding of cloud computing technologies and trends in parallel computing needed to establish and maintain effective and efficient computing and software services.

由於其對故障的固有彈性以及開源雲基礎架構軟體和虛擬化軟體堆疊的日益可用，從雲端提供的服務已擴展到包括儲存、原始計算和專業服務的範疇。通過從商業雲基礎架構租用服務來滿足維護和技術支援需求的可能性，也引發了對雲計算在大型和小型組織中帶來成本和效率提升的新一波興趣。
