- 1Open Source Softwaresoftware that is free and where anyone can look at and potentially modify the code
- 2Cloud Computingreplacing computing resources – either an organization or individual’s hardware or software – with services provided over the Internet
- 3Software as a Servicea form of cloud computing where a firm subscribes to a third-party software and receives a service that is delivered online
- 4Virtualizationa type of software that allows a single computer (or cluster of connected computers) to function as if it were several different computers, each running its own operating system and software
- underpins most cloud computing efforts, and can make computing more efficient, cost-effective, and scalable - 5LinuxAn open source operating system
- 6Total Cost of Ownershipall of the costs associated with the design, development, testing, implementation, documentation, training and maintenance of a software system
- 7Structured Query Languagea language for creating and manipulating databases - SQL is by far the most common database standard in use today, and is supported by many commercial and open source products
- 8Utility Computinga form of cloud computing where a firm develops its own software, and then runs it over the Internet on a service provider’s computers
- 9Private Cloudspools of computing resources that reside inside an organization and that can be served up for specific tasks as need arrives
- 10Service Level Agreementsa negotiated agreement between the customer and the vendor - the SLA may specify the levels of availability, serviceability, performance, operation or other commitment requirement
- 11Vertical Nichessometimes referred to as vertical markets; products and services designed to target a specific industry
- 12Hardware Cloudsa cloud computing model in which a service provider makes computing resources such as hardware and storage, along with infrastructure management, available to a customer on an as-needed basis
- 13Hardware as a Servicewhere cloud providers offer services that include the hardware, operating system, tools, and hosting that its customers use to build their own applications on the provider’s infrastructure
- the cloud firm usually manages the platform (hosting, hardware, and supporting software), while the client has control over the creation and deployment of their application - 14Infrastructure as a Servicewhere cloud providers offer services that include running the remote hardware and networking, but client firms can choose software used - the cloud firm usually manages the infrastructure (keeping the hardware and networking running), while the client has control over most other things
- 15Cloud Burstingdescribes the use of cloud computing to provide excess capacity during periods of spiking demand
- 16Black Swansunpredicted, but highly impactful events - scalable computing resources can help a firm deal with spiking impact from Black Swan events
- 17Server Farma massive network of computer servers running software to coordinate their collective use; provide the infrastructure backbone to SaaS and hardware cloud efforts
- 18Virtualizationa type of software that allows computers to function as if it were several different computers, each running its own operating system and software
- 19Virtual Desktopwhen a firm runs an instance of a PC’s software on another machine and simply delivers the image of what’s executing to the remote device
