Cloud Computing
Building upon its Silicon
Valley experience in cloud computing and the Academy Working Group,
Pacific Challenge is working with clients ranging from innovative
start-ups, to SMEs, governments, and to large financial services
organizations helping them discern business value from the cloud,
and then drawing up implementation plans to capture that
value.
The major commercial suppliers are Amazon Web
Services, Google, Microsoft Azure, and Salesforce.com. The
essential properties of their services are
- software as a service – applications are delivered over the
Internet,
- significant cost savings because resources in massive
warehouse-sized data centres are pooled at scale, built from
low-cost commodity chips and disks, and share the overhead of
cooling, refrigeration, physical security, and backup power
- presented as a utility with a matching business model, namely
pay-per-use, and
- a new data-parallel programming framework
