 What is Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous,

convenient, on-demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources (e.g.,
networks, servers, storage, applications and services)
that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider
interaction.
The NIST definition of cloud computing
(NIST Special Publication 800-145).
NIST=the National Institute of Standards and Technology's
In simple words:-
Cloud Computing is using the internet to
access someone elses software running on
someone elses hardware in someone elses
data centre.
An environment created in a users machine
from an on-line application stored on the
cloud and run through a web browser.
Cloud Computing is a type of computing that
relies on sharing computing resources rather
than having local servers or personal devices
to handle application.
 Why Cloud Computing ?

Cloud Computing is User Centric

Cloud Computing is Task-Centric
Cloud Computing is Powerful

 Coud Architecture contd..

Individual users connect to the cloud from their own

personal computers or portable devices, over the
Internet. To these individual users, the cloud is seen as
a single application, device, or document. The hardware
in the cloud (and the operating system that manages the
hardware connections) is invisible.
 Cloud Service Models

There are mainly three service models given as:-

Saa
S

Software as a Service (SaaS) PaaS IaaS

Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Allow users to
run applications
and store data
online.
 SaaS (end users)

Defined as service-on-demand, where a provider

will license software tailored.
Just run it for me!

We can access this cloud hosted application

without any additional hardware or software.

Examples:- Gmail, Yahoo mail, Google Apps,

Microsoft office 365 etc..

SaaS
SaaS Pros and Cons:-
Pros:-
SaaS is easy to buy
Less hardware is required for SaaS
Low maintenance required for SaaS
No special software or hardware version
required

Cons:-
Security
Latency issue
Total dependency on internet
 PaaS (application Developers)

Give us nice API (Application programming Interface) and

take care of the implementation.
In the Paas model, cloud providers deliver a computing
platform and/or solution stack typically including operating
system, programming language execution environment,
database, and web server.
is a platform for developers to write and create their own
SaaS, I.e. application.
Which means rapid development at low cost.
E.g.: salesforce.com, windows Azure etc.
 PaaS Pros & Cons
Pros.:

Rapid development at low cost.

Private or public deployment.
Cons.:
Limits developers to provider languages and tools
 IaaS (Network architect)

Also known as hardware as a service.

Is a computing power that you can rent for a limited
period of time.
Allows existing applications to be run on a cloud
suppliers hardware.
Cloud providers offer computers - as physical or
more often virtual machines - raw (block) storage,
firewalls, load balancers, and networks.
 IaaS Pros & Cons
You can dynamically choose a CPU, memory and storage
configuration as per your needs.
You easily access the vast computing power available on IaaS
cloud platform.
There is a risk of IaaS cloud computing platform vendor by
gaining the access to the organisations data. But it can be
avoided by opting for private cloud.
IaaS cloud computing platform model is dependent on
internet.
IaaS cloud computing platform can limit the user privacy and
customisation options.

 Cloud Storage
Cloud storage means the storage of data online in the
cloud. Wherein a companys data is stored in and
accessible from multiple distributed and connected
resources that comprise a cloud.
 Types of Cloud Storage
1. Public Cloud 2. Private Cloud 3. Hybrid Cloud
 Advantages
Lower computer costs.
Improved performance.
Reduced software costs.
Instant software updates.
Improved document formate compatibility.
Unlimited storage capacity.
Increased data reliability.
Device independence.
 Disadvantages

Requires a constant Internet connection.

Does not work well with low speed connection.
Features might be limited.
Can be slow.
Stored data might not be secure.
Stored data can be lost.
 Conclusion

Thus cloud computing provide a super-computing

power.
This cloud of computers extends beyond a single
company or Enterprise.
The application and data served by the cloud are
available to broad group of users, cross-
enterprise and cross platform.
