Cloud Data Centers and Cost Modeling by Caesar Wu,Rajkumar Buyya Pdf

Cloud Data Centers and Cost Modeling establishes a framework for strategic decision-makers to facilitate the development of cloud data centers. Just as building a house requires a clear understanding of the blueprints, architecture, and costs of the project; building a cloud-based data center requires similar knowledge. The authors take a theoretical and practical approach, starting with the key questions to help uncover needs and clarify project scope. They then demonstrate probability tools to test and support decisions, and provide processes that resolve key issues. After laying a foundation of cloud concepts and definitions, the book addresses data center creation, infrastructure development, cost modeling, and simulations in decision-making, each part building on the previous. In this way the authors bridge technology, management, and infrastructure as a service, in one complete guide to data centers that facilitates educated decision making. Explains how to balance cloud computing functionality with data center efficiency Covers key requirements for power management, cooling, server planning, virtualization, and storage management Describes advanced methods for modeling cloud computing cost including Real Option Theory and Monte Carlo Simulations Blends theoretical and practical discussions with insights for developers, consultants, and analysts considering data center development

Next Generation Data Centers in Financial Services by Tony Bishop Pdf

Financial markets are witnessing an unprecedented explosion in the availability of data, and the firms that survive will be able to leverage this information to increase their profit and expand their opportunities in a global world. Financial firms have two options: to build their own data centers or to outsource them to hosting services such as Google and Amazon ‘cloud’ services. While outsourcing data centers is a trend for small firms, it is not applicable to bigger firms who want more control over their huge amounts of data. Large firms thus build their own data centers. In such an environment, the CIO’s ability is crucial to lead an effective data strategy to capture, process and connect data to all the relevant lines of business. At the core of this strategy lies the data center – the repository of all information. In recognition of the importance of information, firms are rushing to invest in data centers, but they are finding that just throwing technology at the problem is not good enough. Despite the investments, data centers prove frustrating in terms of inefficiencies and rising costs, directly cutting into the profitability of lines of business that they serve. While there are books that discuss the mechanics, hardware and technicalities of data centers, no book has yet made the connection between enterprise strategy and data center investment, design and management. This book is a solution driven book for management demonstrating how to leverage technology to manage the seemingly infinite amount of data available today. Each chapter offers cutting-edge management and technology solutions to effectively manage data through data centers. • Feature: Presents cutting-edge technology solutions not available in one place until now • Benefit: Saves time going to numerous websites, calling vendors, going to conferences • Feature: Includes step-by-step instructions on how to implement a data center strategy based on the author’s recent success with Wachovia’s data center • Benefit: Readers can follow these steps with confidence that they will work and not have to re-invent the wheel • Feature: Demonstrates how business and IT can be aligned in financial services • Benefit: Demonstrating this alignment is crucial for any proposal for IT related resources today

Cost Aware Decision Support for Cloud Data Centres by Sergej Svorobej Pdf

Cloud computing became a popular IT and business trend in recent years, due to its scalability, reliability, ease of access and low costs. The demand for cloud services has led to a steep increase in number and size of data centres around the world with more hardware dense, large-scale data centres being build. A modern data centre has become a very complex system with a multitude of interconnected hardware resources that is hard to manage in an autonomic and cost-effective manner. This thesis presents novel techniques, models and software for estimating the impact of data centre planning decisions on Total Cost of Ownership. The use of a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) framework as a decision support tool is proposed for understanding operational efficiencies and the financial implications of different cloud resource management techniques and different hardware components. Based on a detailed assessment of the current state of cloud simulation tools, resource management techniques and cost models available for data centre management, an on-the-fly compilation of simulation models for large-scale cloud data centres has been proposed and delivered. This enables an automated approach for extracting all required simulation modelling parameters from existing data centre monitoring tools, improving speed and usability of the simulation approach. A unique integration approach between a production grade cloud optimisation framework and an offline simulation analysis framework, enables direct simulation of cloud resource management policies allowing for experimentation of different "what-if" scenarios using existing production tooling. An improved set of cost models were developed alongside the simulation framework which are capable of calculating costs based on time series data produced by the simulation framework. Thus, taking into account resource management policy effects and enabling a more granular overview of costs when compared to traditional TCO calculation approaches. The simulation framework implementation was validated using real case study data. In addition, the practical use of the proposed cloud data centre decision support approach is demonstrated through presentation of an extended case example, estimating and planning for the impact of a data centre hardware upgrade and resultant system performance and costs.

IBM Data Center Networking: Planning for Virtualization and Cloud Computing by Michele Girola,Marian Friedman,Mark Lewis,Alessio M. Tarenzio,IBM Redbooks Pdf

The enterprise data center has evolved dramatically in recent years. It has moved from a model that placed multiple data centers closer to users to a more centralized dynamic model. The factors influencing this evolution are varied but can mostly be attributed to regulatory, service level improvement, cost savings, and manageability. Multiple legal issues regarding the security of data housed in the data center have placed security requirements at the forefront of data center architecture. As the cost to operate data centers has increased, architectures have moved towards consolidation of servers and applications in order to better utilize assets and reduce "server sprawl." The more diverse and distributed the data center environment becomes, the more manageability becomes an issue. These factors have led to a trend of data center consolidation and resources on demand using technologies such as virtualization, higher WAN bandwidth technologies, and newer management technologies. The intended audience of this book is network architects and network administrators. In this IBM® Redbooks® publication we discuss the following topics: The current state of the data center network The business drivers making the case for change The unique capabilities and network requirements of system platforms The impact of server and storage consolidation on the data center network The functional overview of the main data center network virtualization and consolidation technologies The new data center network design landscape

Taxation in a Global Digital Economy by Ina Kerschner,Maryte Somare Pdf

Time to discuss anti-BEPS measures around digitalization In the course of the BEPS Report on Action 1, it was concluded that there was no instantaneous need for specific rules to address base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) made possible by the digitalization of enterprises and new digital businesses. At the same time, it was acknowledged that general measures may not suffice with the assessment of results to begin in 2020. While awaiting possible fundamental reforms of the tax framework, it is time to discuss anti-BEPS measures bearing in mind the peculiar features of the digital economy such as increased mobility, no need for physical presence, and dematerialization. The Book focuses on five key areas of interest:International Tax PolicyTax Treaty LawTransfer PricingIndirect Taxation IssuesEU Law “Taxation in a Global Digital Economy” analyses the issues and addresses the five key areas of interest from various viewpoints.
