5 (five) Characteristic that ideally owned by Cloud Computing

Here are 5 characteristics that are ideally owned by a cloud computing services:

On-Demand Self-Service User Ideally cloud computing services can be self-sufficient on their own needs, and desired application can directly there when needed. Here intervene cloud computing providers should be very minimal.

Ubiquitous / Broad Network Access Services cloud computing is good to be able to be accessed from anywhere, anytime, with any device, as long as we are still connected to the service network.

Polls are centralized resource, centralized. A cloud computing service that is good to be able to efficiently share resources exist, because the service is used by a variety of customers simultaneously, so that available resources can be fully utilized.

Rapid Elasticity Cloud computing is good to be flexible in raising or lowering capacity use as needed. Because this is one of the advantages of cloud computing services. Customer can easily raise or lower resource use, and this will affect the costs that they incur.

Measured Service Cloud Computing provider must be able to measure the capacity provided in this service. Example for an existing resource, can only be used by 10 clients, so if the client has reached the maximum limit, the resource should be added. So the service provided must be completely scale-able.
