Mastering Cloud Computing

Posted: 05 Sep 2013 11:32 AM PDT

Book Description

Mastering Cloud Computing is designed for undergraduate students learning to develop cloud computing applications. Tomorrow’s applications won’t live on a single computer but will be deployed from and reside on a virtual server, accessible anywhere, any time. Tomorrow’s application developers need to understand the requirements of building apps for these virtual systems, including concurrent programming, high-performance computing, and data-intensive systems.

The book introduces the principles of distributed and parallel computing underlying cloud architectures and specifically focuses on virtualization, thread programming, task programming, and map-reduce programming. There are examples demonstrating all of these and more, with exercises and labs throughout, and a live environment on the Aneka platform where you can experiment and test your work.

  • Explains how to make design choices and tradeoffs to consider when building applications to run in a virtual cloud environment
  • Test and experiment with a live cloud system on the Aneka platform
  • Real-world case studies include scientific, business, and energy-efficiency considerations
  • Download examples and instructor support materials on the book’s companion page

Practical Anonymity

Posted: 05 Sep 2013 11:15 AM PDT

Book Description

For those with legitimate reason to use the Internet anonymously–diplomats, military and other government agencies, journalists, political activists, IT professionals, law enforcement personnel, political refugees and others–anonymous networking provides an invaluable tool, and many good reasons that anonymity can serve a very important purpose. Anonymous use of the Internet is made difficult by the many websites that know everything about us, by the cookies and ad networks, IP-logging ISPs, even nosy officials may get involved. It is no longer possible to turn off browser cookies to be left alone in your online life. Practical Anonymity: Hiding in Plain Sight Online shows you how to use the most effective and widely-used anonymity tools–the ones that protect diplomats, military and other government agencies to become invisible online. This practical guide skips the theoretical and technical details and focuses on getting from zero to anonymous as fast as possible.

For many, using any of the open-source, peer-reviewed tools for connecting to the Internet via an anonymous network may be (or seem to be) too difficult because most of the information about these tools is burdened with discussions of how they work and how to maximize security. Even tech-savvy users may find the burden too great–but actually using the tools can be pretty simple.

The primary market for this book consists of IT professionals who need/want tools for anonymity to test/work around corporate firewalls and router filtering as well as provide anonymity tools to their customers.

Simple, step-by-step instructions for configuring and using anonymous networking software

Assessing Vendors

Posted: 05 Sep 2013 11:12 AM PDT

Book Description

Assessing vendors is a tricky process. Large and regulated organizations are forced to demonstrate due diligence in vendor assessment, but often do not know how to do this. This results in a great deal of busywork being required by both the vendors and the organizations. Smaller organizations don’t know what to look for and, as a result, often wind up selecting based on price instead of value. This results in service failures and vendors that just milk their customers for as long as they can.

Assessing Vendors shows you how to walk the line between under- and over-assessing, so decisions can be made on sufficient data without wasting time, digging too deeply, or making decisions too quickly. This hands-on guide will show you how to use an iterative approach to vendor analysis, so you can rapidly filter out the vendors that are clear failures and then select likely winners. It will then show you how to do progressively deeper dives into the likely winners so you can select a preferred vendor. Finally, you will learn how to negotiate with your preferred vendor to get reasonable prices and services.

  • Provides an iterative approach to vendor assessment, showing you how to make decisions on sufficient data without wasting time
  • Includes checklists to help you navigate the decision-making process, while considering all the important factors needed to make a sound decision
  • Helps you understand and evaluate vendors based on key concepts such as performance criteria, functional testing, production, and price
