Geographic Distribution

DISADVANTAGE: ______ _____ _________ Even w/ fast connection... Web-based applications can be slower than accessing a similar software program on your desktop PC Everything about the program has to be sent back and forth from your computer to the computers in the cloud If Cloud servers are backed up you would NOT get the instantaneous access you expect from desktop applications

Can be Slow

What is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.

Cloud Computing

In a Private Cloud whilst VM architectures are essential, it will LACK benefits of sharing:

Cost Scalability Performance

_________________ allows for workload changes by provisioning and de-provisioning resources in an autonomic manner Such that at each point in time the available resources match current demand as closely as possible

Elasticity
