SynopsisCloud Computing: Concepts, Technology and Architecture is the result of years of research and analysis of the commercial cloud computing industry, cloud computing vendor platforms, and further innovation and contributions made by cloud computing industry standards organizations and practitioners. This book breaks down proven and mature cloud computing technologies and practices into a series of well-defined concepts, models, and technology mechanisms. In doing so, the book establishes concrete, academic coverage of fundamental aspects of cloud computing concepts and technologies, carefully described to ensure full alignment with the cloud computing industry., Clouds are distributed technology platforms that leverage sophisticated technology innovations to provide highly scalable and resilient environments that can be remotely utilized by organizations in a multitude of powerful ways. To successfully build upon, integrate with, or even create a cloud environment requires an understanding of its common inner mechanics, architectural layers, and models, as well as an understanding of the business and economic factors that result from the adoption and real-world use of cloud-based services. In Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture , Thomas Erl, one of the world's top-selling IT authors, teams up with cloud computing experts and researchers to break down proven and mature cloud computing technologies and practices into a series of well-defined concepts, models, technology mechanisms, and technology architectures, all from an industry-centric and vendor-neutral point of view. In doing so, the book establishes concrete, academic coverage with a focus on structure, clarity, and well-defined building blocks for mainstream cloud computing platforms and solutions.Subsequent to technology-centric coverage, the book proceeds to establish business-centric models and metrics that allow for the financial assessment of cloud-based IT resources and their comparison to those hosted on traditional IT enterprise premises. Also provided are templates and formulas for calculating SLA-related quality-of-service values and numerous explorations of the SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS delivery models.With more than 260 figures, 29 architectural models, and 20 mechanisms, this indispensable guide provides a comprehensive education of cloud computing essentials that will never leave your side., Clouds are distributed technology platforms that leverage sophisticated technology innovations to provide highly scalable and resilient environments that can be remotely utilized by organizations in a multitude of powerful ways.

Superficial and too much talking with no actual substance
Here are couple of things for new buyers to consider: 1) If you plan to keep as reference in your library then don't buy this edition. poor quality paper . Does not worth saving few dollars 2) After reading that book I believe it is mainly suitable for sales and marketing. Very superficial analysis and discussion. the only meaningful information comes after reading around 80% of the book and even that is not technical enoughVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
