IntroductionIntroduction
•With traditional desktop computing, we run copies of software
programs on our own computer. The documents we create are stored
on our own pc.
•Although documents can be accessed from other computers on the
network, they can’t be accessed by computers outside the network.
This is PC-centric.
•With cloud computing, the software programs one use aren’t run
from one’s personal computer, but are rather stored on servers
accessed via the Internet.
• If a computer crashes, the software is still available for others to
use. Same goes for the documents one create; they’re stored on a
collection of servers accessed via the Internet.
• Anyone with permission can not only access the documents, but
can also edit and collaborate on those documents in real time.
• Unlike traditional computing, this cloud computing model isn’t
PC-centric, it’s document-centric.
What Is Cloud ComputingWhat Is Cloud Computing
• Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing
resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle
applications.
• In cloud computing, the word cloud (also phrased as "the cloud") is used as
a metaphor for "the Internet," so the phrase cloud computing means "a type
of Internet-based computing," where different services such as servers,
storage and applications are delivered to an organization's computers and
devices through the Internet.
• Cloud computing is comparable to grid computing, a type of computing
where unused processing cycles of all computers in a network are harnesses
to solve problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine.

Cloud ArchitectureCloud Architecture
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 ModelsCloud Service Models
There are mainly 3 service models given as:
1. Software as a Service (SaaS)
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
 Defined as service-on-demand, where a provider will license
software tailored.
 In the SaaS model, cloud providers install and operate
application software in the cloud and cloud users access the
software from cloud clients. Cloud users do not manage the
cloud infrastructure and platform where the application runs.
This eliminates the need to install and run the application on
the cloud user's own computers, which simplifies maintenance
and support.
SaaSSaaS
PaaSPaaS
In the PaaS model, cloud providers deliver a computing
platform typically including operating system, programming
language execution environment, database, and web server.
Application developers can develop and run their software
solutions on a cloud platform without the cost and
complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware
and software layers.
Introduction to Cloud Computing
IaaSIaaS
In the most basic cloud-service model, providers of IaaS offer
computers physical or (more often) virtual machines and other
resources. IaaS clouds often offer additional resources such as a
virtual-machine disk image library, raw (block) and file-based
storage, firewalls, load balancers, IP addresses, virtual local
area networks (VLANs), and software bundles. IaaS-cloud
providers supply these resources on-demand from their large
pools installed in data center

Public CloudPublic Cloud
A form of cloud storage where the enterprise and storage service
provider are separate and the data is stored outside of the
enterprise's data center. With public cloud storage, or external
storage clouds, enterprises and small businesses offload their
data storage and archival / backup needs to a third-party cloud
storage service provider, freeing them from the expensive costs
of having to purchase, manage and maintain on-premises
storage hardware and software resources
Private CloudPrivate Cloud
The phrase used to describe a cloud computing platform that is
implemented within the corporate firewall, under the control of the
IT department.
A private cloud is designed to offer the same features and benefits of
public cloud systems, but removes a number of objections to the cloud
computing model including control over enterprise and customer
data, worries about security, and issues connected to regulatory
compliance
Hybrid CloudHybrid Cloud
A combination of public cloud storage and private cloud
storage where some critical data resides in the enterprise's
private cloud while other data is stored and accessible from a
public cloud storage provider.
Hybrid cloud storage combines the advantages of scalability,
reliability, rapid deployment and potential cost savings of
public cloud storage with the security and full control of
private cloud storage.
Introduction to Cloud Computing
AdvantagesAdvantages
1. Lower computer costs.
2. Improved performance.
3. Reduced software costs.
4. Instant software updates.
5. Improved document format compatibility.
6. Unlimited storage capacity.
7. Increased data reliability.
8. Universal document access.
9. Latest version availability.
10. Device independence.
DisadvantagesDisadvantages
1. Requires a constant Internet connection.
2. Does not work well with low-speed connections.
3. Features might be limited.
4. Can be slow.
5. Stored data might not be secure.
6. Stored data can be lost.
• Thus cloud computing provide a super-computing power .
• This cloud of computers extends beyond a single company
or enterprise.
• The applications and data served by the cloud are available
to broad group of users, cross-enterprise and cross-
platform.
