CLOUD COMPUTING
• Cloud Computing is the use of hardware and software to deliver a service over
a network (typically the Internet).

• With cloud computing, users can access files and use applications from any
device that can access the Internet.

• An example of a Cloud Computing provider is Google's Gmail.

THE THREE LAYERS OF CLOUD ERP

5
IAAS

• IaaS or Infrastructure as a Service refers to the hardware, network

equipment and web hosting servers which web hosting companies rent
out to consumers.

• The IaaS layer of Cloud Computing is physical hardware

• Cloud is based on physical computing hardware (servers, nodes, PDU's,

blades, hypervisors, cooling gear etc.) stored in a data center (also
called a DC) operated by network architects, network engineers and
web hosting professionals/companies.
6
PAAS

• PaaS or Platform as a Service refers to the middle layer of the Cloud used
for development by web developers, programmers and coders to create
applications, programs, software and web tools.

• In most cases, developers will purchase the PaaS layer of the Cloud from
infrastructure providers like RackSpace, Amazon EC2, Linode and Digital
Ocean.

• The purchased infrastructure will come with pre-installled developer

tools like Apache, MySQL, Ruby, LAMP Stack, Dokku and GitLab etc.
7
SAAS
• SaaS or Software as a Service is the top most layer of the Cloud which the vast
majority of consumers utilize. It provides applications, programs, software and web
tools to the public for free or for a price.

• With SaaS enabled Microsoft Office 365:

• SaaS eliminates per seat software purchases.

• SaaS eliminates the need for software maintenance, upkeep or upgrade.

• Without SaaS, a company continually purchases new copies of software for new
employee. With SaaS, a company rents the license to the software from the hosting
company. With new employees, the software is scaled to meet demand. 8
