Review:

"There are not many books in this area that focus on theory as well as practice, and this is where this author shines. He has beautifully blended theory with rich mathematical rigor and real-life practical examples from various infrastructure providers. The book explains parallel and distributed paradigms in a very clear way."--ComputingReviews.com, January 27, 2014 "Marinescu presents a textbook on the main ideas related to cloud computing, in which computation and data storage are done by large dedicated systems accessible through the Internet rather than by individual or company systems. Among his topics are parallel and distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, cloud resource management and scheduling, storage systems, security, and complex systems and self-organization."--Reference & Research Book News, October 2013 "The author offers real-world examples and covers a lot of ground that will enable network architects to speed up the process of a cloud computing deployment...In a nutshell, Cloud Computing: Theory and Practice is an in-depth title that should be on the virtual or physical books shelf of anyone serious about cloud computing."--HelpNetSecurity.com, July 31, 2013 "...it’s an excellent resource for those tasked with developing and architecting sophisticated cloud systems and applications. The book also details how to integrate CDN (content delivery networks) into the cloud."--RSAConference.com blog, July 22, 2013
