ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT  How does SaaS work?

 It works through the cloud delivery model.

ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT (ESD)
 A software application will either host the application, or it may be an ISV
 It refers to all of the activities that must take place to make a software application that contracts a cloud provider to host the application in their data center.
available to users.
 As a result, companies using SaaS are not tasked with the setup and
 It typically begins after a software application has been written, tested, packaged, maintenance of the software.
and delivered to an enterprise.
 It is a recurring phase of the software development lifecycle. IaaS Infrastructure as a Service
 A core element in the administration of IT services within an enterprise.
PaaS Platform as a Service
 It is a process of deploying software through a tool.
- Unlike IaaS and PaaS, SaaS products are frequently marketed to both B2B and
B2C users.
BENEFITS OF ESD
1. Saves time – Application can be deployed to multiples users without manual ISV Independent Software Vendor
intervention.
2. Hassle-free updates – No need to download them manually. B2B Business to Business

3. Proper monitoring – Using deployment tools activity of users revolving around the B2C Business to Consumer
software can be monitored effectively.
4. Increased safety – Since it is managed from one source, the whole process is ASP Application Service Provider
extremely safe and secure.
SOA Service Oriented Architecture

ACRONYMS  SOA provides a framework where software components are delivered as

services, which significantly reduces the cost of software deployment and
maintenance.
THREE MAIN CATEGORIES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
 SaaS and SOA are the perfect pairing, as they have the capacity to serve
SaaS Software as a Service thousands of clients.

 A software distribution model in which a cloud provider hosts applications and
makes them available to end users over the internet.
 Closely related to the ASP where the provider hosts the customer software and
delivers it over the internet.
API / APIs Application Programming Interface/s
 While deployment models can vary, the most common is the classic LEFT TO
RIGHT DEPLOMENT MODEL when working with multiple environments.

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STAGING LIVE

DEPLOYMENT PROCESS FLOW (consists of five steps) FIRMWARE
1. Planning
FIRMWARE
2. Development
3. Testing  It is the data that is stored on a computer or other hardware device's ROM (Read-
Only Memory) that provides instruction on how that device should operate.
4. Deploying
5. Monitoring  Unlike normal software, firmware cannot be changed or deleted by an end-user
without using special programs.

????????????  It is sometimes called embedded software. It is a computer program that is

"embedded" in a hardware device and is an essential part of the hardware.
1. Remember to have a software deployment plan.
 An example is a microcontroller.
2. The actual development.
3. Testing your changes.  It is a software program or set of instructions programmed on a hardware device.
4. Deploying changes to the live environment.  You can usually find firmware updates by going to the "Support" or "Downloads" area
of a manufacturer's website.
5. Monitor your changes.
 A computer can have both firmware and software.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEPLOYMENT  The firmware is permanently stored in the computer, while software, even the OS, can
be replaced by reformatting the hard drive.
1. Deployment of metadata – Metadata includes changes to your code, templates,  Other electronic devices may not look like a computer, but they still have an
stylesheets, files, and so on. embedded system such as a microcontroller inside, with a program telling them what
to do. This is also firmware.
2. Deployment of content – Content such as text, images, and videos are handled
differently during deployment.  Firmware in many machines such as routers can now be updated without any special
hardware, other than a computer and a USB cable.

 An electronic device is said to be "bricked" if it cannot be started because of

firmware issues.
 Firmware is stored as a binary image file.

TYPES OF FIRMWARE
1. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
2. EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface)
 A device driver is hardware specific. For instance, printer driver, graphics driver, etc.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE
SOFTWARE
Software is a collection of set of
programs, data, or instruction used
by a computer to perform specific
✱
tasks and allows user to interact
with computer.
FIRMWARE
Firmware is a type of software
program that provides control for a
specific hardware and provide
essential instructions how device
communicate with other computer
hardware.
Various categories of software
10 include application software,
computer programming tools, etc.
Types of software includes
11 application software, shareware,
system software, etc.
Features of software includes
12 efficiency, usability, functionality,
dependability, etc.
There are no such categories of
firmware.
Types of firmware includes BIOS, EFI

 CLOUD COMPUTING 1.1. Public Cloud
- It allows systems and services to be easily accessible to the general public.
CLOUD It may be less secure because of its openness.

 The term refers to a Network of Internet. 1.2. Private Cloud

 In other words, we can say that Cloud is something which present at remote location .
 It can provide services over network, on public networks or in private network.
 WAN, LAN, or VPN. Application such as e-mail, web conferencing, Customer
Relationship management (CRM), all run in cloud.
- It allows systems and services accessible within an organization. It offers
increased security because of its private nature.
1.3. Community Cloud
- It allows systems and services to be accessible by group of organizations.

1.4. Hybrid Cloud

CLOUD COMPUTING
- It is a mixture of public and private cloud. However, the critical activities
