Industry Transformation

Cloud computingCloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications.

In cloud computing, the word cloud (also phrased as "the cloud") is used as a metaphor for "the Internet," so the phrase cloud computing means "a type of Internet-based computing," where different services— such as servers, storage and applications — are delivered to an organization's computers and devices through the Internet.

Types of Cloud computingDeployment based Model

1. Public Cloud (http://www.hwclouds.com/en-us/)2. Private Cloud (Huawei workspace Fusion Access)3. Hybrid Cloud = Public + Private

Service based Model

1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)3. Software as a Service (SaaS)

OpenStackIn July 2010, Rackspace Hosting & NASA jointly launched an open-source cloud-software initiative known as OpenStack

Cloud Data-center

OpenStack is an distributed cloud operating system provides an platform for setting up public or private cloud on top of heterogeneous data-center.

For operator, It provides set of configurable device-drivers/plug-ins to consume the required hardware-devices and software-defined-devices from cloud data-center regions.

And for consumers, it provides required RESTful API, CLI to provision and manage their cloud resources such as instances, storage volumes, networks, etc. programmatically.
