Now Fully Updated: The Definitive, Vendor-Neutral Guide to Cloud Computing Success Cloud computing offers immense opportunities to improve agility and competitiveness - as well as significant risks. To maximize value and avoid pitfalls, you need a thorough, vendor-neutral understanding of today's technologies, models, tools, and architectures. Cloud Computing, Second Edition presents up-to-date knowledge for every facet of cloud computing: from scoping projects through designing solutions, assessing providers to administering resources and managing cost. Renowned IT author Thomas Erl and enterprise cloud expert Eric Barcel?Monroy distill proven technologies and practices into well-defined concepts, models, mechanisms, and architectures. Each is explained in ways that align with modern industry usage, to help you clearly understand and assess your options. First, the authors show how cloud computing emerged and evolved, introducing core concepts, models, components, and security issues

The world is awash with digital data from social networks, blogs, business, science and engineering. Data-intensive computing facilitates understanding of complex problems that must process massive amounts of data. Through the development of new classes of software, algorithms and hardware, data-intensive applications can provide timely and meaningful analytical results in response to exponentially growing data complexity and associated analysis requirements. This emerging area brings many challenges that are different from traditional high-performance computing. This reference for computing professionals and researchers describes the dimensions of the field, the key challenges, the state of the art and the characteristics of likely approaches that future data-intensive problems will require. Chapters cover general principles and methods for designing such systems and for managing and analyzing the big data sets of today that live in the cloud and describe example applications in bioin
