 What is Cloud Computing?
Definitions:
“Cloud computing is a general term for anything that
involves delivering hosted services over the internet.” – Wikipedia

“Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared

resources, software, and information are provided to computers
and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.”- Wikipedia

Basically a cloud is a virtualization of resources that manages and

maintains itself.

 Broadly classified under the three categories:
1. IaaS: Infrastructure as a service.
2. PasS: Platform as a service.
3. SaaS: Application/Software as a Service.

 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):

Cloud infrastructure services or "Infrastructure as a Service

(IaaS)" delivers computer infrastructure, typically a
platform virtualization environment as a service. Rather
than purchasing servers, software, data center space or
network equipment, clients instead buy those resources
as a fully outsourced service.
Examples:- IBM Blue house, VMWare, Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure Platform, Sun Parascale and
more

Benefits to the clients:

 1. Stop worrying about heavy traffic and bandwidth requirements.
 2. Pay as you go.
 3. No need to buy high configuration servers from day one.
 4. Low maintenance.

 Platform as a Service (PaaS):
Platform-as-a-service in the cloud is defined as a set of software and
product development tools hosted on the provider’s infrastructure.
Developers create applications on the provider’s platform over the
Internet. PaaS providers may use APIs, website portals or gateway
software installed on the customer’s computer Force.com, (an
outgrowth of Salesforce.com) and GoogleApps are examples of
PaaS.
Developers need to know that currently, there are not
standards for interoperability or data portability in the cloud. Some
providers will not allow software created by their customers to be
moved off the provider’s platform.
Examples:- Middleware, Intergation, Messaging, Information, connectivity etc
AWS, IBM Virtual images, Boomi, CastIron, Google Appengine

 Software as a Service (SaaS):

In the software-as-a-service cloud model, the vendor supplies the

hardware infrastructure, the software product and interacts with the
user through a front-end portal. SaaS is a very broad market. Services
can be anything from Web-based email to inventory control and
database processing. Because the service provider hosts both the
application and the data, the end user is free to use the service from
anywhere. There are several successful SaaS model running all over
the web.
Examples:-
 Gmail, GoogleCalender
 Payroll, HR, CRM etc
 Sugarm CRM, IBM Lotus Live

 Types Of Clouds
• Public Cloud: the services are delivered to the client via the Internet
from a third party service provider.
Example: Amazon

• Private Cloud: these services are managed and provided within the
organization. There are less restriction on network bandwidth, fewer
security exposures and other legal requirements compared to the
public Cloud.
Example: HP Data Centers

 Utility computing
• To say it simply, it is a price model based on resource
usage quantity.
• Utility computing allows companies to only pay for the
computing resources they need, when they need them.
• The main benefit of utility computing is better
economics.

 What cloud computing means to
users?
• Lower client workload
• Lower Total Cost Ownership
• Separation of infrastructure maintenance duties from
• domain-specific application development
• Separation of application code from physical resources
• Not have to purchase assets for one-time or infrequent
intensive computing tasks
• Expand resource on-demand
• Make the application have high availability
• Quickly deploy application
• Pay per use
