5 THINGS ABOUT CLOUD
 Cloud service models
•The cloud model is composed of
three service models.

•SAAS(Software as a sevice)

computer with Wi-Fi
to find your content
 Advantages of Cloud Computing
• Lower computer costs:
– You do not need a high-powered and high-priced computer
to run cloud computing's web-based applications.
– Since applications run in the cloud, not on the desktop PC,
your desktop PC does not need the processing power or hard
disk space demanded by traditional desktop software.
– When you are using web-based applications, your PC can be
less expensive, with a smaller hard disk, less memory, more
efficient processor...
– In fact, your PC in this scenario does not even need a CD or
DVD drive, as no software programs have to be loaded and
no document files need to be saved.

71
 Advantages of Cloud Computing
• Improved performance:
– With few large programs hogging your computer's
memory, you will see better performance from your PC.
– Computers in a cloud computing system boot and run
faster because they have fewer programs and processes
loaded into memory…
• Reduced software costs:
– Instead of purchasing expensive software applications, you
can get most of what you need for free-ish!
• most cloud computing applications today, such as the Google Docs suite.
– better than paying for similar commercial software
• which alone may be justification for switching to cloud applications.

72
 Advantages of Cloud Computing
• Instant software updates:
– Another advantage to cloud computing is that you are no longer faced
with choosing between obsolete software and high upgrade costs.
– When the application is web-based, updates happen automatically
• available the next time you log into the cloud.
– When you access a web-based application, you get the latest version
• without needing to pay for or download an upgrade.

• Improved document format compatibility.

– You do not have to worry about the documents you create on your
machine being compatible with other users' applications or OSes
– There are potentially no format incompatibilities when everyone is
sharing documents and applications in the cloud.

73
 Advantages of Cloud Computing
• Unlimited storage capacity:
– Cloud computing offers virtually limitless storage.
– Your computer's current 1 Tbyte hard drive is small
compared to the hundreds of Pbytes available in the
cloud.
• Increased data reliability:
– Unlike desktop computing, in which if a hard disk crashes
and destroy all your valuable data, a computer crashing in
the cloud should not affect the storage of your data.
• if your personal computer crashes, all your data is still out there in
the cloud, still accessible
– In a world where few individual desktop PC users back up
their data on a regular basis, cloud computing is a data-

safe computing platform!
 Advantages of Cloud Computing
• Universal document access:
– That is not a problem with cloud computing, because you
do not take your documents with you.
– Instead, they stay in the cloud, and you can access them
whenever you have a computer and an Internet connection
– Documents are instantly available from wherever you are
• Latest version availability:
– When you edit a document at home, that edited version is
what you see when you access the document at work.
– The cloud always hosts the latest version of your
documents
• as long as you are connected, you are not in danger of having an outdated
version
75
 Advantages of Cloud Computing
• Easier group collaboration:
– Sharing documents leads directly to better collaboration.
– Many users do this as it is an important advantages of cloud
computing
• multiple users can collaborate easily on documents and projects
• Device independence.
– You are no longer tethered to a single computer or network.
– Changes to computers, applications and documents follow
you through the cloud.
– Move to a portable device, and your applications and
documents are still available.

 DRAWBACKS & CHALLENGES
• CHALLENGES ARE:-
• 1. SECURITY AND PRIVACY
• 2. INTEROPERABILITY AND PORTABILITY
• 3. RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY
• 4. PERFORMANCE AND BANDWIDTH COST
• ETC.
• 1. SECURITY AND PRIVACY
• The main challenge to cloud computing is how it addresses
the security and privacy concerns of businesses thinking of
adopting it. The fact that the valuable enterprise data will reside
outside the corporate firewall raises serious concerns. Hacking and
various attacks to cloud infrastructure would affect multiple clients
even if only one site is attacked. These risks can be mitigated by
using security applications, encrypted file systems, data loss
software, and buying security hardware to track unusual behavior
across servers.
• RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY
• Cloud providers still lack round-the-clock service; this results in
frequent outages. It is important to monitor the service being
provided using internal or third-party tools. It is vital to have
plans to supervise usage, SLAs, performance, robustness, and
business dependency of these services.
• PERFORMANCE AND BANDWIDTH COST
• Businesses can save money on hardware but they have to spend more for
the bandwidth. This can be a low cost for smaller applications but can be
significantly high for the data-intensive applications. Delivering intensive
and complex data over the network requires sufficient bandwidth. Because
of this, many businesses are waiting for a reduced cost before switching to
the cloud.
• All these challenges should not be considered as road blocks in the pursuit
of cloud computing. It is rather important to give serious consideration to
these issues and the possible ways out before adopting the technology.

 Future of cloud computing
 It’ssafe to say that cloud computing is the next “big
thing.” Cloud computing is the storing and accessing of
data and programs through the internet, rather than
through physical means such as hard drives. Basically, the
cloud is just a fancy term for services accessed over the
internet. Forbes Magazine stated that, “55% of enterprises
predict cloud computing will enable new business models
in three years.” With that being said, it is expected that a
large amount of enterprises will be making moderate-to-
heavy cloud investments in the near future as they
transition into full reliance on cloud technologies. Many are
depending on the cloud to launch new business models,
help streamline their supply chains, and provide
applications and platforms to better manage and analyze
data.
An Oxford Economics and SAP study of cloud computing
generated key points that were found by comparing a recent
survey to one conducted a few years ago. Forbes Magazine
shared these points, some of which include:
Top-line growth, collaboration among employees, and supply
chain are the three areas enterprises expect cloud computing to
impact most in three years.
Developing new products and services, new lines of business and
entering new markets are three key areas in which cloud
computing is transforming enterprises.
58% of enterprises predict their use of cloud computing will
increase top-line revenue growth in three years.
67% of enterprises say that marketing, purchasing, and supply
chain are somewhat and mostly cloud-based as of today.
 As the cloud automation becomes more and more
efficient, human intervention within firms become less
and less frequent, which allows for IT to spend more
time on strategic planning endeavours . Cloud Tech
stated that, “Orchestration is particularly effective in
helping companies lower expenditures and maintain
a sound ebb and flow of work in the IT department,
which is why so many firms are looking to get a handle
on this tricky matter.” The cloud will continue to
evolve over the next few years and the demand in
the market will continue to grow. It is predicted that,
in time, almost all companies will be reliant, in some
way, on the cloud.
