摘要：Cloud Computing has become one of the most talked about technologies in recent times and has got lots of attention from media as well as analysts because of the opportunities it is offering.The market research and analysis firm IDC suggests that the market for Cloud Computing services was $16billion in 2008 and will rise to $42billion/year by 2012. It has been estimated that the cost advantages of Cloud Computing to be three to five times for business applications and more than five times for consumer applications. According to a Gartner press release from June 2008, Cloud Computing will be “no less influential than e-business”. Cloud computing evokes different perceptions in different people. To some, it refers to accessing software and storing data in the “cloud” representation of the internet or a network and using associated services. To others, it is seen as nothing new, but just a modernization of time-sharing model that was widely employed in 1960s before the advent of relatively lower-cost computing platforms. This development eventually evolved to the client/server model and to the personal computer, which placed large accounts of computing power at people’s desktops and spelled the demise of time-sharing systems. In this manuscript, we have simulated a cloud environment with different parameters including data centers, bandwidth, network speed, user bases and locations throughout the globe.
