Mr. Santhosh D’Souza, CTO, Sun Microsystems India, explains more about cloud computing and if it is necessary for businesses to subscribe to the ‘cloud’ model.
Why cloud computing? How is it different from the traditional way of datacenter computing?
A traditional datacenter have resources allocated specifically for each application in a dedicated manner. There are some issues with the traditional way of setting up such a datacenter. One is acquisition, where you have to purchase all of the resources — be it compute, storage or networking. Also, you have to plan for a certain amount of scale. You have to try and predict how much you are going to need one year from now. You have to buy all the resources upfront and that is an expensive proposition.
