Abstract
Cilj ovog završnog rada jest detaljnije obraditi pojam računalstva u oblaku, njegove primjene, modele usluga te naposljetku prikazati na temelju komercijalnih primjera računalnu i ekonomsku prednost. Računalstvo u oblaku predstavlja model obrade podataka koji omogućuje brz i jednostavan pristup skupu djeljivih računalnih resursa. Resursi se odnose na sastavnice poput računalnih mreža, poslužiteljskih računala, medija za pohranu podataka, aplikacija te raznih usluga. Organizacije u fazi izgradnje mogu na isplativ način izgraditi računalnu infrastrutkuru za obavljanje poslovanja. Računalstvo u oblaku predstavlja isplativ model usluge bez visokih inicijalnih troškova. Poslije definiranja pojma računalstva u oblaku, njegove strukture te funkcionalnosti, ovaj završni rad bavi se vrstama primjene oblaka i modelima usluga. Detaljno su razrađene vrste primjene kroz privatni, javni, oblak zajednice te hibridni oblak. Modeli usluga odnose se na softver kao uslugu, platformu kao uslugu i infrastrukturu kao uslugu. Rad završava komercijalnim primjerima primjene računalstva u oblaku na primjerima modernih organizacija, odnosno pruţatelja usluga u oblaku. Spomenute su organizacije Amazon.com, Google te GoGrid Cloud. Kroz pojašnjenje zastupljenijih usluga prikazuju se praktične primjene oblaka i prednosti pojedinog proizvoda.The aim of this final thesis is to define in detail the main definition of Cloud Computing, as well as deployment methods and service models, finalizing with commercial examples showing computational and economical value. Cloud Computing is defined as data processing model which enables fast and simple approach to a resource pooling unit. Resources consist of components such as networking, server clients, data storage, applications and other relevant services. Start-up organizations can build a very cost-effective computing infrastructure for their business needs. Cloud Computing is an efficient service model without initial costs. After defining the main Cloud Computing terms such as structure and functionality, this thesis puts focus on deployment methods and service models. Deployment methods are defined in detail through private cloud, public cloud, community cloud and hybrid cloud. Service models are explained through Software as a Service, Platform as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service. Finally, this thesis ends with commercial examples of Cloud Computing, mentioning modern organizations and cloud service providers. Mentioned organizations are Amazon.com, Google and GoGrid Cloud. Practical uses and advantages of cloud computing products are mentioned as well, in simple terms
