Enterprise Cloud Computing Technology, Architecture, Applications Explains the evolution of the internet into a cloud computing platform and assesses its impact on enterprise IT. Gautam Shroff (Author) 9780521137355, Cambridge University Press Paperback / softback, published 14 October 2010 290 pages, 85 b/w illus. 1 colour illus.23.5 x 17.7 x 1.4 cm, 0.57 kg 'Clouds are usually associated with vapor, and are close cousins of fog and mist - Gautam's book is a huge step forward in bringing clarity and tangibility into this exciting next stage of evolution in enterprise IT. Gautam has a deep understanding of the cloud from the technology, customer requirement, service provider and innovator perspectives. I am glad he has translated this wealth of knowledge to the benefit of the greater technical community.' K. Ananth Krishnan, Chief Technology Officer, Tata Consultancy Services Cloud computing promises to revolutionize IT and business by making computing available as a utility over the internet. This book is intended primarily for practising software architects who need to assess the impact of such a transformation. It explains the evolution of the internet into a cloud computing platform, describes emerging development paradigms and technologies, and discusses how these will change the way enterprise applications should be architected for cloud deployment. Gautam Shroff provides a technical description of cloud computing technologies, covering cloud infrastructure and platform services, programming paradigms such as MapReduce, as well as 'do-it-yourself' hosted development tools. He also describes emerging technologies critical to cloud computing. The book also covers the fundamentals of enterprise computing, including a technical introduction to enterprise architecture, so it will interest programmers aspiring to become software architects and serve as a reference for a graduate-level course in software architecture or software engineering.
