Discussion 1
First e-activity:
• Use the Internet or Strayer's online library to research grid computing projects and how they are being used to solve complex scientific problems. Use BOINC's Website, located at https://boinc.berkeley.edu, for further information on grid computing projects. Be prepared to discuss.
Second e-activity:
• Go to IBM's Website and read "Inside the hybrid cloud, Part 1: Redefine services and delivery methods".
"Cloud Computing" respond to the following:
1. From the first e-Activity, examine the grid computing concept and discuss ways it can be used to solve complex scientific problems. Determine how similar approaches may be used in community projects (i.e., distributed digital music archives and libraries).
2. From the second e-Activity, compare and contrast public, private, and hybrid clouds. Analyze how enterprises could modify their processes and organizational structures to support these varying cloud services.
Discussion 2
Third e-activity:
• Go to the ACM Digital Library's Website and read "A View of Cloud Computing"- Clearing the clouds away from the true potential and obstacles posed by this computing capability. By miChAEL ARmBRuSt, ARmAnDo fox, REAn GRiffith, Anthony D. JoSEPh, RAnDy KAtz, AnDy KonWinSKi, Gunho LEE, DAViD PAttERSon, ARiEL RABKin, ion StoiCA, AnD mAtEi zAhARiA.
"Software as a Service (SaaS)" respond to the following:
1. From the third e-Activity, analyze how a CIO of a large organization would enable SaaS opportunities in their organization while mitigating the obstacles for cloud computing growth.
2. Analyze service-oriented architecture (SOA) and discuss its evolution since the beginnings of distributed computing concepts. Review how SOA is related to cloud computing and provide an example that supports your answer.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
