Saxe, J. G. (1964) The Blind Men and the Elephant. World’s Work. 1 OVERVIEW Arguably, utility computing is the original form of computing. This chapter looks at the roots of utility computing and finds they are not as different from early computing models as expected. It also traces some of the technological advances that have occurred to bring us to this point. 2 BACK TO THE BEGINNING The high cost of early mainframe computers made them inherently large business resources. The computer (usually singular) was shared out of fiscal necessity.
Computers cannot always maintain this level of service – they fail. From the mid-1990s, mission-critical information services have been protected from computer failure by Failover Management Software (FMS). This monitors continuously and directs applications to migrate or fail over to another computer when a failure is detected. Today, FMS can pool dozens of computers into clusters. Applications that run on clusters can move or redistribute themselves if a computer fails, without involving users, who are generally unaware of the specific computer with which they are interacting.
Today, mobile telephones and personal digital assistants use General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) to maintain a continuous flow of information with the Internet. Just as the mobile telephone made voice connectivity independent of an individual’s location, the Internet is on the way to placing any and all information at hand, no matter where one is or what the time. 1 The computing utility redefined The Internet has taken the computing utility concept to a new level by virtualizing information resources.
