About the Book

Vendors are trying to sell something utility, or pay as you go, computing and users simply do not understand what it is. This implies an exceptionally strong need and opportunity for vendors to educate their customers and prospects on the utility computing concept Mike West, Senior Program Director, Saugatuc How would it be possible to receive a monthly bill for usage of MS Office on your home PC rather than actually buying it for a considerable cost? Ever wondered if you could use storage services from somebody called Storage Service Provider (SSP) and get billed not only in terms of MB usage but also for features like how complex RAID you desire to have? What would make it possible to contribute to the processor power from your own desktop to a researcher in astrophysics sitting at the other side of the Internet world? Or should you ask why would Sun Microsystems visionary leader, Scott McNealy says, "The Network is the Computer?" All this may not be that hard to answer with the advent of new technology called Utility Computing or On Demand Computing. However, this is not a new concept. Any utility service is based on the fact, that the resources are metered and the user is charged on pay-per-use basis. The same concept when applied to the usage of computing resources gave birth to a new technology called Utility Computing. Well, does that mean utility computing is something that comes out of a wall just like electricity? Is this a marketing gimmick or an elemental reshaping of technology? If most of the significant components for utility computing to gain an overwhelming acceptance are available today, why is it taking so long to come to fruition? Get a glimpse of the world of Utility Computing and get all the burning questions like the above answered in this book.
