Cloud Computing provides a strong frame to a company to solve one of the most serious problem for IT industry that is Resource Planning. Every new company dreams of getting famous in few days and expect that new clients start using their services. . But for the IT department this can be nightmare because such flow of traffic will require more and more computing power than on any other day. Now to handle the situation if the company buys many computer equipments, than on an average day most of the machines will sit idle. From other point of view if the systems of a company are too weak to handle the load then they might crash leaving many clients and business in bizarre. This is where cloud computing comes into action. Cloud Computing allows a company to use as much as resources as they want and handle the sudden increase of traffic. And on the day when traffic is low company can save money by only using few machines and thus saving a lot of money. Computer equipments are not so costly how they used to be in past times, but the administration of machines is expensive. To solve this problem what Cloud Computing do is basically gathering large number of low cost computers, all other requirements like maintenance procedures and management of systems can all be automated. Therefore by using Cloud Computing you need very few administrators which can manage thousands of machine. Third and th most important advantage of Cloud Computing is that it is completely compatible to multiprocessor technology. This is basically because of the increased importance of technologies like virtualization and parallel programming. Single processors can not handle immense pressure of the increasing demand of fast processing. To face the situation hardware designers started building multi core chips with the prediction that number of core chips will increase on an exponential rate in near future. So available computers have to be parallel with the increasing computer processing power. This is eased by Cloud virtualization techniques which allows the processing power to be utilized properly and efficiently .

Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are one of the most kind of servers in the world. After dedicated hosting VPS hosting is the one most preferred by the clients.  Dedicated server is divided into several virtual slices and each of that slice acts like a small dedicated server. Users of one virtual server didn’t mess with virtual servers on the same dedicated server. Cloud hosting is another famous hosting package, it is considered as future of web hosting. In Cloud hosting multiple physical servers are connected in pool like formation, hosting resources are supplied on demand. From the customers point of view this whole pool looks like a single dedicated server with the resources as CPU, Disk space, RAM equal to hundreds of physical servers. The customers are charged on the basis of what they use, most like a modern electricity billing. Cloud hosting is definitive cost effective approach in hosting that’s why it is considered as future. Cloud Virtual Server is a combination of two best technologies in hosting world. A Cloud Virtual Private Servers are not hosted on a single dedicated server just like traditional VPS, instead it is hosted within cloud servers. Each physical server provides resources to each of the VPS created. Cloud VPS are considered as more reliable than normal because it is not attached to a single server. Slicing is done by all the servers thus making it failure proof hosting solution. A Cloud VPS server can be easily created with complete automation. Whole process of assigning and identifying cloud resources and creating VPS is done by central OS. All you have to do is few simple clicks and step sand your Cloud VPS will be ready to use. Taking this point into consideration many hosting providers charge their customers on a hourly basis.

Most ideal locations for a data center is the one which have sufficient supply of electricity, near to vendor market and generally a cold place. Perfect site for Data Centers location is the one which is not prone to flood or any other natural calamities. Also it is better to avoid locations near to any air or water contaminating industries. One small but important point is to avoid tress which produce sap. If you are near to a cold lake or river which has no possibilities of harming the data centers than you can use the water as cooling agent thus total cooling cost will be reduced. All these points are important when you are building a data center. Most if the time data centers are used for the following purposes:

• Data Storage
• Application Hosting
• Web 2.0 services
• Streaming Video Source

To provide the above requirements of customers you need to think about latency and the demand of bandwidth. Bandwidth is more important than data storage. Data storage units which include normal servers as well as colocation servers, are often placed far away from each other for the reason if something disastrous happens simultaneous damage can be saved. But they shouldn’t be placed very far because there is need of synchronous file replication. Data centers which are totally dedicated to provide application hosting have all type of provision for the customers those who are running applications which requires heavy bandwidth like mail services. These kind of applications need well-organized transmission protocols. Some other applications where even a delay of millisecond can damage millions require high latency, like market data feeds for financial services. High latency is the requirement of the data center near to these business as they can’t afford delay. Web 2.0 applications are the strangest one as they include so many types, web storage, web services like security and confirmation. However only requirement of web 2.0 applications is tremendous high performance of connectivity out and inside data center.

We already saw what is Total Cost Ownership of a Data Centers. Cloud Computing a new kind of technology which is being considered as the future of hosting and webs world. Cloud Hosting has got many advantages over other traditional hosting services like VPS hosting, Shared Hosting or dedicated server hosting. Cloud Computing being a bit more economical then other hosting services so it will be more loved in developing countries and data centers in country like India will try to bring Cloud Servers in their specifications as soon as possible. So lets understand the Total Cost Ownership on Cloud Computing. TCO for a data center is different from TCO for Cloud since Cloud is completely different from other services offered by data centers. When you are running your business on some external cloud it is better to calculate the TCO required to run your business in external cloud as compared to the whole infrastructure. If the data center is insufficiently utilized then you will loss a lot of money. Mainly losses will be in Operation Exchange ( support staff, power, energy e.t.c.) and Capital Exchange (hardware requirements of the servers).

Compare Infrastructure with Cloud Costs

How do you face the situation of over or under utilization? What costs are associated in running unoccupied server? What are the possible risks associated with over utilization? The question of over utilization is tricky as one side each company want to grow their business and sell as much as they can thus increasing utilization. But on the other side it is believed to be a good option to save some capacity for your future developments or in any urgent situation. If you have many colocation servers then this situation gets more complex. This situation cannot be measured in rupees or in any other currency as it depends on the costs and risk implicated in the case your service goes down.

Calculate the TCO for the whole infrastructure or for the part of your business which you are planning to be hosted on cloud. One you calculate TCO for your data center then only you can transform your business into utility computing model, which further can be compared to typical cloud services.
