Understanding Utility Computing Basics

Utility Computing is a service model providing on-demand computing resources based on actual usage, similar to traditional utilities. It includes various services like IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and FaaS, allowing scalability and flexibility. Wireless networks enable devices to connect without physical cables, offering mobility, easy installation, and coverage in areas where wired connections are impractical.

UTILITY

COMPUTING
WHAT IS UTILITY
COMPUTING?
• Utility Computing is a service provisioning model where
computing resources (storage, computation, applications)
are provided to customers on-demand, similar to how
traditional utilities like electricity, water, or gas are
supplied.
• Key Concept: Just as you pay for electricity based on
consumption (per kilowatt-hour), in utility computing,
you pay for computing resources based on actual usage.
REAL-WORLD
ANALOGY
• Think of utility computing like your electricity bill:
• You don't own the power plant
• You pay only for what you use
• The service is always available when you need it
• The utility company manages all the infrastructure
• You can scale up or down based on your needs
