Examples: • Google – estimated to use 900,000 servers. • Facebook Server Farm Source: Media Bakery Virtualization Virtualization allows companies to make one server appear to be multiple, virtual servers. Benefits of Virtualization: Cost Savings (low number of physical servers) Enhanced Agility More Service Oriented Focus of IT Dept Cloud Computing Tasks are performed by computers physically removed from the user and accessed over a network http://www.technologyreview.com/news/506976/how-to-steal-data-from-your-neighbor-in-the-cloud Cloud Computing Services Cloud infrastructure as a service Use processing, storage, networking, etc. Amazon provides these types of services Cloud platform as a service Use programming tools Force.com allows users to develop in the cloud Cloud software as a service Use software hosted in the cloud Technical Guide 3 - Review Describe a server farm and provide an example. Define virtualization, and discuss advantages. Technical Guide 3 – Review (cont.) Define cloud computing and analyze the advantages and disadvantages.
