What is Cloud Computing?
Definition:
Cloud computing is the use of remote servers on the internet to store,
manage, and process data rather than a local server or your personal
computer.
What is Cloud Computing?
The cloud symbol is typically
used to represent the internet.
Cloud computing is now
commonly used to describe the
delivery of software,
infrastructure and storage
services over the internet.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is the next stage in
the evolution of the internet, it
provides the means through which
everything — from computing
power to computing infrastructure,
applications and business processes
— can be delivered to you as a
service wherever and whenever you
need them.
Why Cloud Computing?
On-premises
• Higher pay less scalability
• A lot huge space for servers
• Appoint team for software and
hardware maintenance
• Poor data security
• Less chance of data recovery
On Cloud
• Pay for what you use
• Scale up=> Pay more
• Scale down=> Pay less
• No server space required
• No experts required for software
and hardware maintenance
• Better data security
• Disaster Recovery
Why Cloud Computing?
On-premises
• Lack of flexibility
• No automatic updates
• Less collaboration
• Data cannot be accessed
remotely
• Takes longer implementation
time
On Cloud
• High Flexibility
• Automatic software updates
• Team can collaborate from
widespread locations
• Data can be shared and accessed
anywhere over the internet
• Rapid implementation
Types of cloud computing (Cloud Models)

• IaaS
• PaaS
Service
Model • SaaS

• Public Cloud
• Private Cloud
Deployment
Model • Hybrid Cloud
Service Model:
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
• IaaS Provides basic computing
infrastructure
• Provides virtualized computer resources
over the internet
• No worries about the underlying physical
machine
• Abstract the user from physical machine
• Services are available on Pay-for-what-
you-use model
• IaaS providers include Amazon Web
Services (EC2), Microsoft Azure, and
Google Compute Engine
• Users: IT Administrators
Service Model:
PaaS (Platform as a Service)
• PaaS provides platforms and
runtime environment for
developing, testing, and managing
applications
• It allows software developers to
deploy applications without
requiring all the related
infrastructure
• No control over the underlying
architecture including operating
systems, storage, servers etc.
• Users: Software Developers
Service Model:
SaaS (Software as a Service)
• In SaaS, cloud providers host and
manage the software application
on a pay-as-you-go pricing
model
• All software and hardware are
provided and managed by a
vendor so you don’t have to
maintain anything
• Users: End customers
Deployment Model:
Public Cloud
• The cloud infrastructure is made
available to the general public
over the internet and its owned
by a cloud provider
• Examples: AWS, Windows Azure,
IBM’s Blue Cloud and Sun Cloud
Deployment Model:
Private Cloud
• The cloud Infrastructure is
exclusively operated by a single
organization
• It can be managed by the
organization or a third party and
may exist on-premises or off-
premises
• Examples: AWS, VMware
Hybrid Cloud
• It consists functionalities of both
public and private cloud
• For Example: Federal agencies
opt for private cloud to share
dataset with general public or
other government departments.
