Cloud computing: state-of-the-art and research challenges
Abstract: Cloud computing has recently emerged as a new paradigm for hosting and delivering services over the Internet. Cloud computing is attractive to business owners as it eliminates the requirement for users to plan ahead for provisioning, and allows enterprises to start from the small and increase resources only when there is a rise in service demand. However, despite the fact that cloud computing offers huge opportunities to the IT industry, the development of cloud computing technology is currently at its infancy, with many issues still to be addressed. In this paper, we present a survey of cloud computing, highlighting its key concepts, architectural principles, state-of-the-art implementation as well as research challenges. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the design challenges of cloud computing and identify important research directions in this increasingly important area.
Microsoft Development Network - Architects Rule!
Financial Predictive Analytics will NEVER happen in the cloud
In my recent paper on Solution Architecture blueprints for Risk Management, which is available here I argued as follows, the basis that FPA is not a cloud-centric requirement, the data and the analytics are too much an inherent aspect of the financial institution;-
Given the transparency ethos of life going forward, there is no logic which I can think to counter the proposition that the Solution Landscape, in the new Risk Management or Transparency world, will have to be one of defined coexistence. Classic (academic, even) 'Open Source' coupled to classic proprietary appliance and near-appliance "cyborg" type software applications, is the landscape of the future. The appliance meets the complex quantitative requirements precisely, is warranted to do that, with tacit approval from the supervisory authorities (the only kind you can get) since the published standard is precisely met. However, Handing that data set to one single vendor is placing the bank as hostage to fortune. The Bank itself has to manage its key Information Architecture (what we used to call DWH [Data WareHouse]). But an integrated Model Development Environment (MDE) with competent personnel to articulate what it can do is a sine qua non for the Bank of the future. It doesn't have to be huge but it fulfills the validation function and allows compliance with ad hoc stress testing needs. Thus I envisage a mixed "Transparency" platform integrated through the information management warehouse, both types of application extracting information where even the extract requests can be described themselves as large scale and complex. Crucially On-Demand, always available, is the non functional requirement of both types of application.
am I right?
