Cloud computing involves accessing computing resources such as software, storage, and servers over the internet. Key characteristics include storing data on remote servers accessed via the web, and accessing applications from any device. There are three main types of cloud services - Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Major advantages include lower costs, improved performance, and unlimited storage capacity.
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more over the Internet ("the cloud"). It enables companies to scale up as needed and pay only for resources used. Key aspects include virtualization, utility computing, and service-oriented architecture. Details are abstracted from consumers, who no longer need expertise in or control over the underlying technology infrastructure. Cloud computing provides dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources delivered over the Internet.
This document discusses options for providing service continuity for an organization's IT systems and data. It considers a traditional on-premise setup with purchased hardware hosted in a local or mid-tier data center versus an AWS setup with instances and storage rented from Amazon data centers. The AWS option provides quick deployment, low initial costs savings of 80%, and on-demand scalability. Challenges include security concerns and reliance on internet connectivity. Future plans include expanding the AWS continuity project to additional offices and evaluating more applications and servers moving to AWS.
