Lambert, E.H. (author)Cloud computing has led to large pools of interconnected computer resources that can be acquired or released in a matter of minutes. No long-term contracts or large upfront investment required; resources are available on a pay-per-use basis. Consequently, a thousand servers used for an hour are as expensive as using one server for a thousand...master thesis 2012

Van Heest, R. (author), Hartog, R. (author), Hellendoorn, V. (author), Sawant, A.A. (author)For companies that deliver hardware services, the ability to scale dynamically has many advantages. In a special case, a company may have some computing resources available and desire to scale out when traffic peaks. A periodical budget may then be allocated, which needs to be used efficiently. This can be achieved through a combination of...bachelor thesis 2013
