Cloud computing basic

Here is your 10-item checklist to comparing cloud service providers when you have done so we recommend that your start to critical examine how cloud is used in your business, and whether any cloud migrations needs to be considered.

This document discusses the benefits of cloud computing for enterprises. It provides fast application deployment and hassle-free maintenance while better utilizing resources through cloud's platform independence, security, and scalability. The document categorizes common cloud services such as Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Database as a Service. It also outlines cloud architecture and computing cycles while noting cloud computing's high growth rate.

Intended for non technical executives, this is a high level description of what cloud computing is and how to think about it in a business context.

This document discusses cloud computing, including that it is a model for delivering IT services through web-based tools and applications by storing data and software packages on servers accessible from anywhere via the internet. It allows companies to reduce costs by not owning their own servers and to upgrade software more quickly. The term "cloud" comes from the symbol network engineers used to represent unknown networks connected to their own. Cloud services can provide infrastructure, platforms, or software.

This document discusses the key benefits of public cloud platforms, including rapid elasticity, pay per use access, ubiquitous network access, and resource pooling. It notes that public clouds allow sharing of resources to do more with less, and provide options to customize needs. Some benefits highlighted include cost reductions for infrastructure, support, licensing and employees through improved agility, ease of use, consistency and shorter recovery times. The document advises to consider requirements, both current and future, and choose public clouds or multi-cloud solutions that best match needs.

This document provides an overview of cloud computing and its application in education, particularly distance education. It discusses key cloud concepts like deployment models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), benefits of cloud computing for education including cost reduction and improved collaboration, and how cloud computing can enhance distance learning by providing flexible, on-demand access to educational resources for students and teachers. The document argues that cloud computing has the potential to transform how educational institutions utilize and consume IT resources to better support teaching and learning.

The document discusses various aspects of cloud computing including definitions, components, deployment models, benefits, issues, and examples. It defines cloud computing, describes the typical components of a cloud infrastructure including management platforms, storage controllers, and node controllers. It also covers the different deployment models of Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service and compares offerings from Microsoft Azure, Google App Engine, and Amazon EC2.

Cloud computing allows users to access computer data and software over the internet rather than locally. It provides scalable computing resources and software as a service delivered via web browsers. Key benefits include scalability, device and location independence, lower costs due to pay-per-use models, reliability through multiple data centers, and not having to worry about software maintenance and hardware upgrades. A demonstration of Google Apps for Business was provided to illustrate cloud applications.

Cloud computing refers to applications and services delivered over the internet through cloud services and infrastructure. There are different cloud service models including SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. Cloud deployment models include private, public, hybrid, and community clouds. Cloud computing provides benefits like cost savings, scalability, reliability, and mobile access, but also poses challenges regarding security, continuous evolution, and lack of standards.
