Cloud Computing  (English, Paperback, Balakannan S. P)

Sometimes, I feel, this applies to even the authors themselves. One of the reasons is that most of the books and articles discuss cloud computing from a highly technical viewpoint, instead of a user’s one. Another is the market- ing hype that various businesses have created to use cloud computing as a selling point. This has led to a lot of confusion. This situation is common whenever a new technology enters the fray, and especially one that is bound to create a major paradigm shift. The purpose of this book therefore is to cut through the hype and show you how you can take advantage of cloud computing. You could be an investor who wants to learn more about the cloud-based technologies produced by the business you invest in, an entrepreneur who wants to use cloud computing to ramp up your start-up in an agile manner, a lawyer or judge working on a case that relates to cloud computing, a technologist who wants to use cloud computing in a new product or service that you are defining, a business student who wants to understand the paradigm shift that cloud computing represents to businesses globally, or a layperson who is curious about the subject—this book is for you. This book will help you understand cloud computing from a user’s standpoint: when to use it and when not to, how to select a cloud service and how to incorporate it with other cloud services or traditional IT, and what best practice is when using cloud computing.
