Introducing Cloud… Computing Services Online Software & hardware managed by 3rd parties at remote locations Access to information and computer resources globally Different Service models : – Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Software as a Service (SaaS)

Type of Clouds Public cloud A Standard cloud computing model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as applications and storage, available to the general public over the Internet. Private cloud Established for a specific group or organization and limits access to just that group. Community cloud Shared among two or more organizations that have similar cloud requirements. Hybrid cloud Combination of at least two clouds, where the clouds included are a mixture of public, private, or community.

Cloud Models Software as a Service (SaaS) Accessed through a web browser Subscription-based model Platform as a service (PaaS) Delivery of a computing platform Solution stack as a service. Subscription-based model Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) Delivers computer infrastructure, typically a platform virtualization environment, as a service Subscription-based model

Software as a Service (SaaS)? Software delivered via browser SaaS eliminates: – Software Installation – Running apps on customer’s personal computers or Servers – Simplified maintenance, upgrades and support App delivery is closer to a one-to- many model than to a one-to-one model Scalable & flexible Saves time Saves money
