Cloud Program with a Pricing Strategy for Iaas in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the latest technology trend in delivering computing resources as a service. In practice, cloud service providers tend to offer services that can be grouped into three categories: software as a service (Saas), platform as a service (Paas) and infrastructure as a service (Iaas). Iaas is the delivery of hardware (server, storage and network) as a service. Cloud computing moves computations and data away from desktop PCs into large data centers. Traditional programs cannot bridge the separation between the possession and ownership of program from its use. To address this issue, cloud program with a pricing strategy for Iaas is proposed for cloud computing. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed program allows on-demand uses of cloud resources and provides pay-as-you-go services, which outperforms traditional programs in cloud computing.
