Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing is poised to become the defining technology of the 21st century. Cloud Computing will become an essential tool in the world of research and enterprise alike. From aeronautics to life-sciences to finance and computer modeling & simulation Cloud solutions such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) will make inroads into most areas.
Hence having necessary understanding of the technology becomes a strategic investment in any enterprise. With Cloud Computing you can realize Flexible, and Low cost compute infrastructure On-Demand.To get cloud computing to work, you need three things: thin clients (or clients with a thick-thin switch), grid computing, and utility computing. Grid computing links disparate computers to form one large infrastructure, harnessing unused resources. Utility computing is paying for what you use on shared servers like you pay for a public utility (such as electricity, gas, and so on).
With Cloud computing, companies can scale up to massive capacities in an instant without having to invest in new infrastructure, train new personnel, or license new software. Cloud computing is of particular benefit to small and medium-sized businesses who wish to completely outsource their data-center infrastructure, or large companies who wish to get peak load capacity without incurring the higher cost of building larger data centers internally. In both instances, service consumers use what they need on the Internet and pay only for what they use Geschickten's Cloud Computing practice can help companies solve this simple yet complex looking future of the Web. We help companies make strategic decisions on how and when to move into the cloud. From building private clouds, hybrid clouds to leasing services from external cloud, Geschickten will help its customer to realize the benefit of cloud and in turn save on time, capital and operational expense.
Our Capabilities
Geschickten is a pioneer in High Performance Computing and has always advocated Cloud computing as a suitable option to meet todays diverse mission critical challenges, from Enterprise/IT to Life Sciences analytics. We offer government and enterprise clients the following services as a part of our transformative services:
• Cloud Consult: We offer strategy and planning services spanning from planning infrastructure requirements (Private, Public or Hybrid Clouds), selecting the right cloud partner, integration analysis, design consultation etc. Whether you are a first time user or have been exposed to HPC and Cloud computing, we as expert advisors stand by you in planning your transformation into the Cloud.
• Cloud Develop: We offer mission critical application development, deployment, and management in the cloud as well as in transformation or reengineering of legacy codes / systems.
• Cloud Economics: As one of the early advocators of Cloud computing, we have contributed our understanding of cloud economics in the form of a book chapter "Cloud Economics " published by Springer in the editorial "Cloud Computing: Principles, Systems and Applications" - http://www.springerlink.com/content/h814jk871122253r/. We offer economic analysis and implication of migrating to Cloud.
