What It Provides Essential Characteristics


Cloud computing provides shared services as opposed to 
On-demand self-service

STP-FST-IoT-SAI-2020 STP-FST-IoT-SAI-2020
local servers or storage resources

Enables access to information from most web-enabled
hardware

Allows for cost savings – reduced facility,
hardware/software investments, support
A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such
as server time and network storage, as needed automatically
without requiring human interaction with each service provider.

Broad network access
Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through
standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or
thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and
workstations).

To the customer this appears seamless, limitless, and responsive to
their changing requirements

Measured service
Customers are charged for the services they use and the amounts
There is a metering concept where customer resource usage can be
monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the
provider and consumer of the utilized service
