Cloud Computing

Course Overview

Cloud computing is an Internet-based computing model, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand. Details are abstracted from the users who no longer have need of expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure “in the cloud” that supports them. More than a mere buzz word, Cloud Computing is a different model for IT services based on the Internet. It typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable, elastic and virtualized resources as services over the Internet.
The cloud can provide significant cost-savings. It also increases flexibility and scalability while serving the needs of the business. Cloud-like infrastructures are rapidly evolving and are here to stay.
Participants learn about Cloud Computing as a concept and a practicality. The course introduces Cloud Computing and explains its connection to SOA and the different types of Services used. It includes a Vendors review with a special look at Microsoft.
