Guide to Cloud Computing for Business and Technology Managers - Kale Vivek

Addressing the primary management and operation concerns of cloudware, including performance, measurement, monitoring, and security, this pragmatic book:

• Introduces the enterprise applications integration (EAI) solutions that were a first step toward enabling an integrated enterprise



• Details service-oriented architecture (SOA) and related technologies that paved the road for cloudware applications



• Covers delivery models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, and deployment models like public, private, and hybrid clouds



• Describes Amazon, Google, and Microsoft cloudware solutions and services, as well as those of several other players



• Demonstrates how cloud computing can reduce costs, achieve business flexibility, and sharpen strategic focus

Unlike customary discussions of cloud computing, Guide to Cloud Computing for Business and Technology Managers: From Distributed Computing to Cloudware Applications emphasizes the key differentiator-that cloud computing is able to treat enterprise-level services not merely as discrete stand-alone services, but as Internet-locatable, composable, and repackageable building blocks for generating dynamic real-world enterprise business processes.
