Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Cloud computing has evolved and gained industry interest over the years in many applications.
From deploying an own cloud to using a ready-made software running on a cloud, several implementations, tools and methods have been created.
This work studies the most basic level of cloud known as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and both the functionality and performance of such platforms is carried out and analysed.
The comparison has been done between Eucalyptus; an open source private cloud platform and Amazon EC2; a commercial public cloud platform.

Various business models and usage scenarios have also been discussed and theorized to better understand and predict where and in what situations would the use of both these types of clouds will be most efficient and effective.
This has also lead to the possibility of using these clouds in conjunction with one another, that is, in a hybrid cloud model where cost and performance trade-offs can decide the type of usage.
The feasibility and application of such models have also been discussed and proposed, where the goal has been to suggest a working model that has a trade-off between cost and performance.

Furthermore, the performance of both platforms has been carried out and analysed based on a simple web service running on both clouds.
These performance measures help in deciding whether the discussed and proposed models are practical and also the effectiveness of using Eucalyptus in comparison with a commercial service.
A short discussion for the related and future work branching from this research has also been discussed and could help in taking further research steps in cloud computing and hybrid clouds.
