Zusammenfassung
In letzter Zeit hat ein neues Rechen- und Architekturparadigma Einzug gehalten, das sogenannte Cloud-Computing. Es wird mindestens so umfangreich beworben wie Grid-Computing wenige Jahre zuvor, was u. a. zahlreiche Diskussionen über die Abgrenzung zwischen Grid- und Cloud-Computing angeregt hat. Der erste Beitrag dieses Artikels ist deshalb die eingehende Diskussion der verschiedenen Charakteristika von jeweils Grid- und Cloud-Computing. Diese technische Abgrenzung ermöglicht eine fundierte Diskussion der Geschäftschancen des Cloud-Computing-Paradigmas. In diesem Artikel wird hierzu zunächst ein Framework für Geschäftsmodelle in Clouds aufgestellt. Anschließend werden aktuelle Cloud-Angebote besprochen und in das Framework eingereiht. Zum Schluss spricht dieser Artikel Herausforderungen und erfolgversprechende Forschungsgebiete an, die adressiert und bewältigt werden müssen, damit die Vision von Clouds erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann.
Abstract
Lately, a new computing paradigm has emerged: “Cloud Computing”. It seems to be promoted as heavily as the “Grid” was a few years ago, causing broad discussions on the differences between Grid and Cloud Computing. The first contribution of this paper is thus a detailed discussion about the different characteristics of Grid Computing and Cloud Computing. This technical classification allows for a well-founded discussion of the business opportunities of the Cloud Computing paradigm. To this end, this paper first presents a business model framework for Clouds. It subsequently reviews and classifies current Cloud offerings in the light of this framework. Finally, this paper discusses challenges that have to be mastered in order to make the Cloud vision come true and points to promising areas for future research.

Notes
Unter der Bezeichnung Cloud-Computing-Ökosysteme verstehen wir die fruchtbare Interaktion und konkurrierende Zusammenarbeit (Coopetition) zwischen allen Akteuren, die verschiedene Geschäftsmodelle im Rahmen des Cloud-Computings realisieren.
