Introduction
❑ Cloud Refers to a network or the internet.

❑ It is a technology that uses remote servers on the internet.

❑ Use to store, manage, and access data online rather than local drives.

❑ Data can be anything such as files, images, documents, audio, video, and more.

Introduction
❑ An alternative to the on-premises data center.

❑ In an on-premises data center, we have to manage everything.

❑ Such as purchasing and installing hardware, virtualization, installing the operating system, and
any other required applications, setting up the network, configuring the firewall, and setting up
storage for data.

❑ After doing all the set-up, we become responsible for maintaining it through its entire lifecycle.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 3

Introduction
❑ If we choose Cloud Computing, a cloud vendor is responsible for the hardware purchase and
maintenance.
❑ They also provide a wide variety of software and platform as a service.
❑ We can take any required services on rent.
❑ The cloud computing services will be charged based on usage.
❑ 1999, Salesforce.com started delivering of applications.
❑ 2002, Amazon started Amazon Web Services, providing services like storage, computation and even
human intelligence.

Types of Cloud

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 10

Public cloud
❑ Cloud environments typically created from IT infrastructure

❑ Not owned by the end user

❑ Today's public cloud providers have started offering cloud services on clients’ on-premise data
centers

❑ Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Microsoft Azure

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 11

Private Cloud
❑ Also known as an internal cloud or corporate cloud.

❑ Used by organizations to build and manage their own data centers internally or by the third
party.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 12

Hybrid Cloud
❑ A hybrid cloud is a seemingly single IT environment created from multiple environments
connected through local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs) and virtual private
networks (VPNs).

❑ A hybrid cloud may need to include:

▪ At least one private cloud and at least one public cloud

▪ Two or more private clouds

▪ Two or more public clouds

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 13

Community Cloud
❑ Community cloud allows systems and services to be accessible by a group of several
organizations to share the information between the organization and a specific community.

❑ It is owned, managed, and operated by one or more organizations in the community, a third
party, or a combination of them.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 20

Client/Server computing
❑ Centralized storage in which all the software applications, all the data and all the controls are
resided on the server side.

❑ If a single user wants to access specific data or run a program, he/she need to connect to the
server and then gain appropriate access, and then he/she can do his/her business.

❑ Then after, distributed computing came into picture, where all the computers are networked
together and share their resources when needed.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 21

Sequential Computing
❑ Computing where one instruction is given at a particular time and the next instruction has to
wait for the first instruction to execute.

❑ Also known as a traditional computing method because all the instructions are executed in a
sequence.

❑ Single processor with low performance and high work-load of the processor.

❑ Taking more time.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 22

Parallel Computing
❑ In parallel computing multiple processors performs multiple tasks assigned to them
simultaneously.

❑ Memory in parallel systems can either be shared or distributed. Parallel computing provides
concurrency and saves time and money.

❑ It’s accomplished by multiple CPUs communication via shared memory, which combines
results upon completion.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 23

Parallel Computing
❑ Advantages
▪ It saves time and money: many resources working together cut down on time and costs.
▪ Easy to resolve larger problems.
▪ Can do many things at once using many computing resources.
❑ Disadvantages
▪ The multi-core architectures consume a lot of power.
▪ Parallel solutions are more difficult to implement, debug, and prove right due to the complexity
of communication and coordination, and they frequently perform worse than their serial
equivalents.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 24

Types of Parallel Computing
❑ Bit-level parallelism:
▪ It is the form of parallel computing which is based on the increasing processor’s size.
▪ It reduces the number of instructions that the system must execute in order to perform a
task on large-sized data.
❑ Instruction-level parallelism
▪ In a single CPU clock cycle, the processor decides in instruction-level parallelism how many
instructions are implemented at the same time.
▪ For each clock cycle phase, a processor in instruction-level parallelism can have the ability
to address that is less than one instruction.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 25

Types of Parallel Computing
❑ Task Parallelism:

▪ Task parallelism is the form of parallelism in which the tasks are decomposed into
subtasks.

▪ Then, each subtask is allocated for execution. And, the execution of subtasks is performed
concurrently by processors.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 26

Applications of Parallel Computing
❑ One of the primary applications of parallel computing is Databases and Data mining.

❑ The real-time simulation of systems is another use of parallel computing.

❑ The technologies, such as Networked videos and Multimedia.

❑ Science and Engineering.

❑ Collaborative work environments.

❑ The concept of parallel computing is used by augmented reality, advanced graphics, and
virtual reality.

Distributed Computing
❑ Distributed computing is the method of making multiple computers work together to solve a
common problem. It makes a computer network appear as a powerful single computer that
provides large-scale resources to deal with complex challenges.

❑ It comprises several software components that reside on different systems but operate as a
single system. A distributed system's computers can be physically close together and linked by
a local network or geographically distant and linked by a wide area network (WAN).

❑ A distributed system can be made up of any number of different configurations, such as

mainframes, PCs, workstations, and minicomputers.

❑ The main aim of distributed computing is to make a network work as a single computer.

ASST. PROF. HARSH KANTAWALA 29

Distributed Computing
❑ Distributed computing contains the following three types of machines:

▪ Control Node: It is a group of server which administrates the whole network.

▪ Provider: It is a computer which contributes its resources in the network resource pool.

▪ User: It is a computer which uses the resources on the network.

❑ Distributed computing is used in the ATMs, back-end infrastructures, and marketing research.

Distributed Computing
❑ Advantages
▪ It is flexible, making it simple to install, use, and debug new services.
▪ In distributed computing, you may add multiple machines as required.
▪ If the system crashes on one server, that doesn't affect other servers.
❑ Disadvantages
▪ Data security and sharing are the main issues in distributed systems due to the features of open
systems
▪ Because of the distribution across multiple servers, troubleshooting and diagnostics are more
challenging.
