Dispel, enterprise deployment cloud computing three ways

Cloud computing as the most popular development areas, by the industry chain all aspects of attention. As more and more enterprises use private cloud to significantly improve the resource utilization of the data center, the degree of understanding and recognition of the technology by enterprise decision-makers has improved markedly. The number of companies planning to deploy private clouds has increased from 28% to the current 33%. The root cause of the

that drives businesses to need cloud computing is that traditional it methods don't work. In the face of fierce competition in the market, the existing application and Server island model can not meet the ever-changing needs of enterprises. Today, it is expensive, unresponsive, and well-funded, but ultimately the resources available are underutilized. Most servers use only 20% or less. The lack of flexibility, time and cost of buying expensive systems to meet each business requirement is equivalent to installing a small generator in each office to ensure power. IT departments must provide a competitive service model that delivers infrastructure and computing resources through Plug and Play, Pay-per-use services. Cloud computing is leading us towards that goal.

While there is still much hype on cloud computing, cloud computing is not a flash in the pan, it is the next logical step in the development of the data center from mainframe to client/server to the current cloud computing process.

Cloud Computing enables IT departments to maximize the efficiency of resources such as computing, networking, and storage, while reducing costs, speeding the delivery of IT services, and leveraging the power of resource sharing. This helps businesses deliver IT services faster-by eliminating or simplifying enterprise-entrenched islands IT systems migrate to an infrastructure that can respond to new business requirements in real time, reduce IT costs-more efficient use of IT resources, meaning that fewer servers are needed, reducing the footprint of the data center, Power and cooling requirements, in addition, there is no longer a need for IT organizations to provide a resource-configured island of excess infrastructure for each application to meet expected peak demand and reduce capital expenditure. &NBSP

Of course there are many ways to move from an existing client/server infrastructure to cloud computing, but for corporate users, from virtual machines to clouds, from grids to clouds, from the desktop to the cloud, is the three most effective way to prove it.

from virtual machines to the cloud-users who have deployed applications on virtual machines can combine virtual servers to form manageable virtual machine clusters. As the number of virtual machine clusters increases, so does the need for resource sharing, and companies start deploying virtualized management platforms to automate the provisioning of virtual machines and computing resources across virtual machine clusters, creating a private cloud that is run by the IT department within the enterprise.

from the grid to the cloud--some businesses are already running the grid. This distributed system consists ofIT staff management, typically a compute-intensive or data-intensive application share to share these resources. Virtual machine technology is not used in grids because each application can easily consume all the resources on a single server. In addition, multiple servers are often used together to run parallel applications. By deploying cloud management software, the grid can expand its scope to support more types of applications. Virtualization Technology and resource configuration tools enable the enterprise grid to become a private cloud.

from the desktop to the cloud--desktop virtualization is currently being applied by enterprise customers of all sizes, and it has many advantages, such as increased business efficiency, tight security, and access to desktop programs anytime, anywhere, and so on. At the same time, you can get a more cost-effective and deployment model from it, and it runs very quickly. Applications can migrate from a dedicated server to a shared infrastructure and access from client devices.

Virtualization is the first step in cloud computing for customer business. From virtualization into, and gradually to automate, and then to achieve the highest level it is service, that is, the structure of cloud computing architecture. However, companies can choose any of these approaches and even choose several ways to implement cloud computing for different applications or different business units. To ensure success, the adoption of cloud computing should follow an orderly, step-by-step approach, rather than a hope for overnight. The progress made depends on the scalability and cost-effectiveness requirements of a particular application, or on features such as automation of business processes.
