Cloud computing

 Cloud Computing is a general term used to describe a new class of

network based computing that takes place over the Internet,
 basically a step on from Utility Computing
a collection/group of integrated and networked hardware, software
and Internet infrastructure (called a platform).
 Using the Internet for communication and transport provides
hardware, software and networking services to clients
Basic concepts
 There are certain service and models working behind the scenes making cloud
computing feasible and accessible to end users

 Following are the working models for cloud computing

. Deployment models
. Service models
Deployment Models
As cloud technology is providing users with so many benefits, these benefits must have
to be categorized based on users requirement. Cloud deployment model represents the
exact category of cloud environment based on proprietorship, size, and access and also
describes the nature and purpose of the cloud
 Public Cloud
 Private Cloud
 Hybrid Cloud
 Community Cloud
 Public Cloud : Public Cloud is a type of cloud hosting that allows the accessibility of
systems & its services to its clients/users easily. Some of the examples of those
companies which provide public cloud facilities are IBM, Google, Amazon, Microsoft,
etc.

 Private Cloud : ‘Private Cloud’ means that it allows the accessibility of systems and
services within a specific boundary or organization. The cloud platform is implemented
in a cloud-based secure environment that is guarded by advanced firewalls under the
surveillance of the IT department that belongs to a particular organization.
 Hybrid Cloud : Hybrid cloud computing type, which is integrated, i.e., it can be a
combination of two or more cloud servers, i.e., private, public or community
combined as one architecture, but remain individual entities. Non-critical tasks such as
development and test workloads can be done using public cloud whereas critical tasks
that are sensitive such as organization data handling are done using a private cloud.
Benefits of both deployment models, as well as a community deployment model, are
possible in a hybrid cloud hosting.

 Community Cloud : A community deployment model largely resembles a private one;

the only difference is the set of users. While a private type implies that only one
company owns the server, in the case of a community one, several organizations with
similar backgrounds share the infrastructure and related resources. Example of such a
community is where organizations/firms are there along with the financial
institutions/banks.
Service Models

 SaaS – Software as a Service : In simple this is a service which leverages business to

roll over the internet. SaaS is also called as “on-demand software” and is priced on pay-
per-use basis. Ex: Gmail, Salesforce..
 PaaS – Platform as a Service : PaaS is quiet similar to SaaS rather than SaaS been offered
through web the PaaS creates software, delivered over the web. Ex: gsites
 IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service : Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a way of delivering
Cloud Computing infrastructure – servers, storage, network and operating systems – as an on-
demand service. Ex: AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP
