Books on Cloud Computing

[avi]

I want to learn more about Cloud Computing & I am interested to get into Research field for it [as it will be very helpful for MS]. All these I learnt & read from Google, now as I am considering it seriously, I need some good books.

I need books for beginners & also intermediate.

Can anyone suggest me few good books ?

Bump. Still looking for suggestions.

See...cloud computing is more like a buzzword.

There are so many things, which comes into picture...when you say cloud-computing. Most important of them are cluster/nodes, parallel-computing, fault-tolerant systems, load-balancing and many others likely.

I think., wiki-page is good enough to start with..and than follow the topics which suits to your interests.

Understand the basics first...and than move on to particular topics.

Well for understanding basics also I need a book right

My project is based in this : IEEE Xplore - Service Oriented Architecture for Cloud Based Travel Reservation Software as a Service

Cloud SaaS... so any book regarding explaining this concept

Try and go through Amazon Web Services' site. Go through the kind of offerings that they have. This in general would give you an idea of what people are using cloud computing for. The site would have some good whitepapers too. Since it's a travel based reservation system you'd need very fast computing power - AWS would provide that. In one of their latest seminar they announced that they'd be offering super computer (basically an extremely powerful processing unit) as one of their instance offering (amazon instance = server on rent in naive terms). FB/Google both use parallel computing for their searches. Your project can propose something similar to what they do.

AFAIK, Cloud computing is a buzz word comprising of technologies like SAN and Virtualisation
