HISTORY OF CLOUD COMPUTING

In 1960 - the core concept of Cloud Computing

JOHN MCCARTHY He opined that computation may someday be organized as a public utility. DOUGLAS F PARKHILL He publishes the book The Challenge of the Computer Utility. Almost all the modern-day characteristics of cloud computing (elastic provision, provided as a utility, online, illusion of infinite supply), the comparison to the electricity industry and the use of public, private, government and community forms was thoroughly explored .

In 1990 - The concept of the Grid

Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman

They published the book The Grid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure. The analogy used was of the electricity grid where users could plug into the grid and use a metered utility service.
The Grid describes how networks of computers can be made to cooperate and be brought to bear on computationally intensive tasks.

In 1997 -Use Of Term RAMNATH CHELLAPPA use of the term Cloud Computing The first scholarly use of the term cloud computing was in a 1997 lecture by Ramnath Chellappa where he stated that computing paradigm where the boundaries of computing will be determined by economic rationale rather than technical limits alone. The first scholarly use of the term cloud computing is in a 1997 lecture by Ramnath Chellappa of the University of Texas

1999 - Path to cloud computing

SALESFORCE.COM IN SAAS CRM On hindsight this proved to be proved to be a turning point in the history of cloud computing. VMWARE VIRTUALIZATION FOR X86 SYSTEM They introduced virtualization to x86 systems to address many of these challenges and transform x86 systems into a general purpose, shared hardware infrastructure that offers full isolation, mobility and operating system choice for application environments.

ORIGIN OF TERM- Cloud

the actual term "cloud" borrows from telephony in that telecommunications companies. Actual derivation of concept from Virtual private network . The cloud symbol was used to denote the between that which was the responsibility of the provider and that which was the responsibility of the user .

COMPANIES- towards cloud computing

Amazon Amazons first name the Elastic Compute Cloud described a virtualisation environment that you could consume on a perhour basis google Google also got in to the cloud game with Google App Engine or GAE in 2008

Eucalyptus AWS API-compatible platform for deploying private clouds

Microsoft cloud service to Beta called Red Dog. When it was commercially released, this became known as Windows Azure
