Cisco network Cloud: New Possibilities

Management rules network resources should be co-ordinated with the rules developed for appendices.
The point of view of the end user
In February, 2009 on chair electrical engineers and computer calculations of university of Berkeley (the USA, California) work “Above clouds has been published: a sight of university of Berkeley on Cloud Computing” (Above the Clouds: A Berkeley View of Cloud Computing – see the reference in the end of given article) in which the technology cloud computing is considered from the point of view of the end user.
In this work three important factors which influence users are noted:
. ● illusion of infinity of the computing resources accessible on demand, relieving the user from necessity in advance to plan and order the necessary resources;
. ● absence of heavy expenses and obligations at the project initial stages. Right at the beginning the project can be small, and then, in process of the development, it can be scaled and, in case of need, to involve more and more resources through cloud computing;
. ● payment for actual using services (pay-as-you-go) allows customers to buy only that is really necessary in short-term or long-term prospect.
In work it is said that the companies solving the big computing problems, can receive results much faster and more economically if will involve wide resources of suppliers of operated services cloud computing only on short intervals of time. That fact that cloud computing means work on demand, is favourable to the companies as allows to react to varying conditions and market possibilities quickly. Profitability of technology cloud computing is proved also to that with its help large data-processing centres can cut down the expenses on an electrical supply, a network pass-band, current operations, the software and hardware systems. By some calculations, with the help cloud computing these expenses can be reduced five times.
