Understanding IT Environment
IT Infrastructure Management
• Coordination of IT resources, systems,
platforms, people, and environments.
• IT Resources include the things that are
required to set up an IT environment:-
• Computer Systems
• Servers
• Routers, switches, firewall, access point,
etc.
• Connection (wired / wireless)

An IT Environment

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 15

What is a Server?
Server vs PC

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 16

How does a Server work?

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 17

What is Virtualization?
- Process of creating a virtual machine with the help of a
virtual software (hypervisor)
- The Hypervisor acts between the primary system and the
secondary system (virtual systems)
- Allows the virtual system to access the resources of the
primary system such as RAM, ROM, Storage, CPU, Network
etc.

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 18

What is Data Center?
- A data center is a facility that stores a company’s central computing
technology, including the IT infrastructure and hardware.
- Data centers are usually associated with a specific company or
administrative area.
- A professional data center requires:
- Power supply
- Air conditioning
- Expenses
- Data Protection
- Fire Protection
- Sustainability (energy costs)
- Qualified & experienced staffs
- Security
- Technological Infrastructure

What is Cloud?
- A cloud refers to a distinct IT environment designed for the purpose of
remotely provisioning scalable and measured IT resources.
- It is a network of networks providing remote access to a set of
decentralized IT resources

- As a specific environment used to remotely provision IT resources, a cloud has a finite
boundary.
- a cloud is typically privately owned and offers access to IT resources that is metered.
- Cloud provided IT resources are dedicated to supplying back-end processing
capabilities and user-based access to these capabilities
- Internet provides open access to many Web-based IT resources
- Much of the Internet is dedicated to the access of content-based IT
resources published via the World Wide Web.
- it is not necessary for clouds to be Web-based even if they are commonly
based on Internet protocols and technologies.

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 21

What is Cloud? (contd..)
Cloud Consumers and Cloud Providers
• The party that provides cloud-based IT resources is the cloud provider.
• The party that uses cloud-based IT resources is the cloud consumer.

Some of the Cloud Providers:- • Verizon cloud

• Amazon Web Services (AWS) • Digital Ocean
• Microsoft Azure • Godaddy
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP) • Red Hat Cloud
• Alibaba Cloud • VmWare
• IBM Cloud • Rackspace
• Oracle Cloud • Salesforce

Scaling
Scaling, from an IT resource perspective, represents the ability of
the IT resource to handle increased or decreased usage demands.
The following are types of scaling:
• Horizontal Scaling - scaling out and scaling in
• Vertical Scaling - scaling up and scaling down

Horizontal Scaling
Horizontal scaling means scaling by adding more machines (e.g. A whole new server)
to your pool of resources

Vertical Scaling
Vertical scaling refers to scaling by adding more power (e.g. CPU, RAM) to an existing
machine
CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 23
 Cloud Service
A cloud service is any IT resource that is made
remotely accessible via a cloud.

A cloud service can exist as a simple Web-based software

program with a technical interface invoked via the use of a
messaging protocol, or as a remote access point for
administrative tools or larger environments and other IT
resources.

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 24

Cloud Service Consumer
The cloud service consumer is a temporary runtime role assumed by a
software program when it accesses a cloud service.

Depending on the nature of a given diagram, an artifact labeled as a cloud service consumer may be a software program or a hardware device (in which
case it is implied that it is running a software program capable of acting as a cloud service consumer).

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 25

Goals and Benefit
• Reduced Investments and Proportional Costs

• Increased Scalability

• Increased Availability and Reliability

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 26

Risks and Challenges
• Increased Security Vulnerabilities

• Reduced Operational Governance Control

• Limited Portability Between Cloud Providers

• Multi-Regional Compliance and Legal Issues

CS5053NI Cloud Computing and IoT 27

Relation Between Cloud and IoT
• Cloud Computing in IoT works as part of a collaboration and is used to store IoT data.

• The Cloud is a centralized server containing computer resources that can be accessed whenever
required.

• Cloud Computing is an easy travel method for the large data packages generated by the IoT
through the Internet.
