When I was watching television these days i noticed few adds from various indian telecom service providers regarding pay per second billing scheme.. Initially a new service provider came up with the Pay for second model billing and consequently all others tend to follow to provide the same in order to catch up the competion, ok understand you are thinking why I am talking about this here now, right....
I was able to corelate this model of billing similar to cloud model, so i thought to put my thoughts here so that you can better clarity on the cloud model...
Before this 'Pay per second' model , for the mobile providers the unit of billing was say for 30 seconds , so if you take a call and complete the call in 1 second you have to pay for the whole unit of 30 seconds, the question arised why I have to pay for the remaining 29 seconds which I haven't used ??
Similarly i can compare it here with the cloud model of billing earlier applications hosted on servers will have the resources in the server reserved whether the resources have been utilized or not , resources might have been utilized effectively only during peak load period , during the remaining periods it might have been under utilized ... now with the cloud model you will be paying only for the resources you have utilized and that too for that specified period only...
Whether these service providers got inspired by the cloud model ???? :)
