Cloud Computing
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources without the need for direct active management by the user. These system resources primarily include data storage and computing power.
Running on a separate system, you are able to select your on-demand resources on an as-needed basis. This is a great, cost-effective option for businesses that allows you to scale your resources only when necessary. Another financial benefit of cloud computing is that you are not responsible for managing the underlying infrastructure, allowing your business to save on the cost of managing your own infrastructure
- Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of purchasing hardware and software
- Provides flexible options to scale your IT resources as-needed
- Thanks to the self-service and on-demand nature of cloud computing, an abundance of resources can be made available to you within minutes.
- Allows your IT team to focus on other essential projects
- Secure data centers are frequently upgraded to the most efficient computer hardware
- Your data, apps, and infrastructure are protected from potential threats
The best benefits of cloud computing
COST
Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software.
GLOBAL SCALE
Delivering the right amount of IT resources. The ability to scale elastically.
SPEED
A self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provided in minutes

Types of Cloud Computing
PUBLIC CLOUD
A public cloud provides excellent versatility and on-demand capacity. A public cloud is best suited for software development or collaborative projects.
PRIVATE CLOUD
Private clouds are only available to individual organizations and are placed behind a firewall for security purposes. Only authorized users may access a private cloud, and utilize it to store data.
HYBRID CLOUD
A hybrid cloud is an effective combination of features from both private and public clouds. The two platforms interact seamlessly, allowing data and applications to communicate back and forth with one another. Hybrid clouds are scalable, providing the computing power of a public cloud, with the security and control of a private cloud.
Easier setup
For organizations within the same community with similar concerns, community cloud computing would be the most appropriate selection, allowing users to analyze their business demands first.
Cloud Computing Models
IaaS
Infrastruce as a Service (Iaas)
Add, delete, and reconfigure your IT infrastructure on-demand with this self-service model for managing your remote data infrastructure.
PaaS
Platform as a Service (Paas)
Add more value to your cloud and reduce your management overhead costs. PaaS helps to build, run, and manage applications without the need for the IT infrastructure. This allows you to quickly develop, test, and deploy applications.
SaaS
Software as a Service (SaaS)
SaaS is centrally hosted on the cloud, replacing the need for traditional software on the device with software that is licensed and available through a subscription-based service. Most SaaS applications can be accessed directly from a compatible web browser, without the need for downloads or installations.
