Cloud Computing: Die Infrastruktur der Digitalisierung (Edition HMD)
by Stefan ReinheimerDas Herausgeberwerk zeigt Chancen und Risiken des Cloud Computings auf, bringt Lesern das Thema durch anschauliche Beispiele aus Forschung und Praxis näher und zeigt die Implikationen auf, die aus dieser neuen Infrastruktur resultieren. Die Beitragsautoren präsentieren technische Lösungen, Geschäftsmodelle und Visionen, die einerseits die Herausforderungen und Hürden des Cloud Computing aufgreifen – technisch, rechtlich, prozessbezogen – und andererseits die Chancen und Nutzen dieses Architekturansatzes in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Es ist zeitgemäß, IT-Infrastrukturen, Daten und Applikationen aus der lokalen Umgebung in eine Cloud auszulagern. Der Anwender kann sich der angebotenen IT-Dienstleistungen unter Nutzung von Self-Service-Ansätzen bedienen, in Abhängigkeit davon, was und wieviel er gerade benötigt – und auch nur dafür wird gezahlt. Bereitgestellt, gewartet und aktualisiert werden die IT-Ressourcen zentral. Je nach Art der IT-Dienstleistung, die über die Cloud bereitgestellt werden, unterscheidet man zwischen IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service, PaaS – Platform as a Service und SaaS – Software as a Service. Der Sicherheitsbedarf und die Leistungsfähigkeit der Unternehmens-IT entscheiden darüber, ob man diesen Zentralisierungsansatz unternehmensintern in einer Private Cloud oder unternehmensextern in einer Public Cloud umsetzt. Sogenannte Hybrid Clouds sind ein Mittelweg, der sich immer stärker etabliert. Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich umfassend und praxisnah zum Thema Cloud Computing informieren möchten und die nach einer modernen Infrastruktur für die Umsetzung von Digitalisierungsansätzen suchen.
