We can envision the Web-based utility computing model Intel Core i5 4570 as a specialized distributed system with “transparency” being a major design objective. Under this model, a business can adjust the resource provisioning for its Internet applications dynamically based on user demand. For example, if an application suddenly becomes popular and receives a large number of user requests, the application service provider will allocate more servers for this application automatically to accommodate the surge in demand. Later, when the popularity of the application decreases, these servers can be re-purposed for other applications. Such a computing model Intel Core i5 4570 can achieve a much higher degree of efficiency in resource utilization than a traditional model where each application has its dedicated infrastructure. Moreover, the locations of the computing resources are transparent to the end users. In other words, a service provider can optimize its resource provisioning based on any criteria it considers important (e.g. load, proximity, pricing, fault-tolerance, etc.) as long as the end users are provided with a single image of reliable, uninterrupted service.
