Cloud Computing
Introduction to Cloud Computing
- Cloud helps the client in renting their services -
and IT components, thus making customers lives
easier
- Cloud works on Internet
- Instead of building your own kingdom, you just
hire what you wish according to the needs and
pay for it
- Here are some of the components cloud service
providers facilitate
1. Infrastructure
2. Storage
3. Collaboration
4. Application
5. Database
6. Servers
- Using cloud, users can access the software
whenever and wherever they wish to
- Cloud computing is cloud of master systems
- Cloud refers to a network or internet where data
is stored
- There is a centrally located web server which
takes care of your storage
- It’s a technology where data is stored, configured
and manipulated in a remote location, securely
- There are several ways that cloud can be
connected to :
1. Laptop
2. Smartphone
3. Servers
4. Mobile
5. Network
6. Tablet computer
7. Database
- Cloud computing always provide extra bonanza
which allures the customers
- Cloud computing – Architecture
a. Front – end
1) Consists of the client infrastructure
2) Is connected to that of the back – end
layer through internet
3) Is visible to the clients or users
4) The components include : (1) Computer
system (2) Client’s network and (3) Web
browsers
b. Back end
1) It provides : (1) Storage, (2) Virtual
machines, (3) Security model, (4)
Deployment model, (5) Servers, (6)
Services
Evolution of Cloud
Cloud computing evolution
a. In 1960’s, John McCarthy introduced
mainframe time – sharing systems. This
theory focuses on providing multiple users of
a system and have their own control. This
very concept of time – sharing has built a
strong foundation for cloud computing. John
McCarthy made a note that “computation may
someday be organized as public utility”
b. In 1969’s, ARPANET is one of the most
important foundations of the internet.
ARPANET stands for Advanced Research
Projects Agency Network. It was invented by
J.C.R. Licklider. His main aim was to have a
global computer network to access data
anywhere
c. In 1970’s, the magic of virtual machines first
came into picture. Just imagine the buzz that
would have been created when the physical
machines were being replaced with virtual
ones. VM’s were first introduced by IBM.
Shared resources concept also gave birth to
this model. This concept facilitated the
creation of more operating system to run one
physical platform
d. In 1997’s, Cloud computing was coined by
Professor Ramnath Chellapa. He referred to
cloud computing as a computer paradigm.
Here, the boundaries of computing were not
determined by technical limits alone.
Economic rationale also plays a major role in
it.
e. In 1999’s, considered as a major milestone in
cloud computing is the ability to use websites
on the internet. Salesforce has been one of the
best examples of cloud services. Software
programs are configured using the internet for
the simplicity of end users
- Major milestone in cloud computing
a. Amazon web services
1. Around 2002, the e – commerce giant
Amazon thought of a perfectly wonderful
idea – AWS
2. AWS came into the picture and has
become quite good at running
infrastructure services
3. AWS helps in :
1) Running app services
 2) Web development services
3) Mobile app development services
4) Code deployment and corporate
services
b. Google Docs
1. Google has launched Google Docs
2. It’s overwhelming to know that Google
has changed the way documents are
created
3. Google Docs allows the users to create
and edit documents online
4. It is possible because all the credits go to
cloud
5. End users use the concept of cloud,
without even realizing, to share
documents with other users
c. Drop box
1. Dropbox is a powerful technology which
acts a cloud storage
2. It was created for file hosting purposes
3. The functionality of DropBox is to enable
users to store files on remote cloud servers
4. Thus, all your files can be saved securely
at ease on the cloud by using dropbox
d. IoT (Internet of Things)
1. The next milestone which is a blockbuster
in techie world is the Internet of Things
(IoT)
2. It helps in enabling the objects to gather
and transmit the data over the internet
3. IoT and cloud are closely affiliated with
each other. Without one, the other cannot
function and execute.
Why cloud computing

- There are several reasons why we need to use

cloud technologies
1. Data privacy
a. For SaaS (software as a service)
providers, GDPR is very much important
b. GDPR refers to the General Data
Protection Regulation which contains a set
of regulations to be followed by cloud
vendors according to the regions
c. Hence, SaaS vendors are obliged to
protect their customer’s data securely
d. Any chances of data privacy breach may
lead to adverse situations
2. Work from anywhere
a. All you need is an internet connection and
a device to begin work with the
application
 b. VPN connections can also be set up in
order to establish contact with the
application
c. One can get the benefit of using the data
without considering the location
3. Customer centric
a. Cloud is becoming a customer – centric
evolution
b. A customer – centric approach is a key
factor in the success of the cloud
c. It follows the approach of show rather that
wait
d. This makes a customer choose from a
wide range of options available
4. Latest technology
a. If you are a tech freak, then you will love
what cloud can do for a business
b. There are different technologies across the
cloud that make it interesting to learn
c. Starting from a diverse platform solution
to an enterprise – wide hybrid solution,
the cloud is packed with new technologies
to offer.
d. Software upgrades are also considered as
an added advantage
5. Financial savings
a. Profits are highly achievable when you
bring cloud into the business
b. Because it’s actually a big deal when we
speak about the cloud
6. 24 / 7 support
a. You obviously feel happy when you see a
24 / 7 signboard in your mobile network
provider’s advertisements
b. There is a strong reason behind it which is
the support they provide you irrespective
of date and time
c. This, in turn means there is someone who
can support us in any case with complete
assistance
7. Device and location independent
a. Storage was a great concern during the
past years and there were portability
issues too
b. Cloud has erased all these issues by
making cloud platform a device and
location independent
8. Wide range of options
a. Cloud offers a wide range of options to its
customers, thus making the services
flexible and cost – effective
b. Subscription options also make the cloud
 an interesting platform to learn and utilize
9. No babysitting required
a. Babysitting many a time can be painful
b. And, that’s the very reason cloud services
are capable of leveraging automation
efforts
c. this makes cloud a greener path for the
customers to have a hassle – free
experience
10. all in one formula
a. in general, cloud vendors categorize their
services offered according to different
grades
b. it’s the choice of the customer to choose
what suits best for the business
c. there are also customizatble add – ons
available for the customer to make use of
