Brief about the Cloud Idea</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">The
much-hoped cloud paradigm is seeing an unprecedented adoption and adaption
across the globe. The breakthrough cloud idea is actually a smart and sensible
combination of several proven and promising technologies such as consolidation,
virtualization, optimization, service orientation (SO), and an array of
computing paradigms such as cluster, grid, on-demand, and utility computing.
The complete and compact automation of several complicated IT infrastructure
management and maintenance tasks such as job scheduling, resource provisioning,
workload management, asset management, capacity planning, configuration
management, virtual machine creation and control, self-servicing, etc. remains
the key aspects for the upswing of the pioneering cloud technology.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">The
noteworthy aspect is that cloud infrastructures fulfill myriad quality
attributes (Non-functional requirements such as scalability / elasticity,
availability, adaptability, alacrity, high performance, etc.). The cloud
paradigm has come as a boon and blessing for enterprise IT as it could
introduce and incorporate a series of innovations and improvisations there in
order to realize the long-pending target of business-IT alignment. Cloud is
undoubtedly the transformative and disruptive technology that has the
wherewithal to effectively accomplish the long-standing needs such as IT
agility, autonomy and affordability. Due to the inherent harmonization with
service oriented architecture (SOA), an offshoot of the popular and pervasive
service orientation (SO), the goal of establishing adaptive, lean, green,
instant-on and smart enterprises is to see the reality soon. Several IT
concerns, constraints and challenges are being easily tackled by the cloud
paradigm in sync up with other enterprise-scale technologies. Enhanced IT
utilization is to see the light through the consolidated, virtualized,
automated and shared IT infrastructures.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>

Cloud Computing - </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">Any promising technology or paradigm has to evolve
continuously. Issues and limitations are being identified, potential solutions
are being conceived and constructed, and newer techniques are being explored,
experimented and expounded. There are different directions and dimensions in
the holistic journey of cloud. The extraordinary successes of cloud computing
in the enterprise space is being spectacularly leveraged and replicated in the
vast and varied embedded space. All kinds of physical and embedded devices are
being connected and linked up with clouds inducing a kind of deeper and deft
connectivity among disparate, distributed, and decentralized devices. This
cloud-centric connectivity has the potential for enabling elegant and exotic
applications. Newer cloud types, models, applications and services are being
formulated to keep up the cloud momentum. Sensor, device, knowledge, science,
service clouds etc are being given newer thrusts these days. Cloud brokerage
services comprising cloud integration, composition and inter-mediation aspects
are fast- emerging with a series of collaborative initiatives among cloud
service providers, academic researchers, and service organizations, consortiums
for standards, government institutions and IT professionals.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">Cloud,
being a generic technology, is bound to raise a storm of advancements and
accomplishments across a variety of domains in the days to unfold. In other
words, the cloud space is all set to join as the third major force along with
the enterprise and embedded spaces in accurately understanding peoples' needs,
conceiving, conceptualizing and concretizing the identified requirements in the
form of people-centric services and applications that can be delivered
unobtrusively to the right people at the right time at the right place. Thus
there is a close linkup between cloud and people IT. Cloud is bringing the
much-needed transition from the expensive IT to elastic, elegant and finally
exotic IT. The cloud space is seeing much more value and verve as
entrepreneurs, employees and executives are on the knowhow of the path-breaking
nature of cloud technology.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>
