What is Cloud?
 The term Cloud refers to a Network or Internet. In other words, we can say that Cloud is
something, which is present at remote location.

 Cloud can provide services over network, i.e., on public networks or on private networks,
i.e., WAN, LAN or VPN. Applications such as e-mail, web conferencing, customer relationship
management (CRM), all run in cloud.

What is Cloud Computing?
 Cloud Computing refers to manipulating, configuring, and accessing the applications online.
It offers online data storage, infrastructure and application.

 Cloud Computing is both a combination of software and hardware based computing

Origin of Cloud Computing
 First milestones for cloud-computing was the introduction of salesforce.com in 1999.

 Amazon Web Services in 2002 was the next major development in cloud computing, which
provided group of cloud based services.

 Amazon launched its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) in 2002 as a commercial web service - to
hire/rent computers on which they can run their own applications.

 Google and others started to offer browser based enterprise applications, through services
such as Google apps.

Essential Characteristics
 On-Demand self service

 Broad network access

 Location independent resource pooling

 Rapid elasticity

 Measured service

Working Models
 There are certain services and models working behind the scene making the cloud
computing feasible and accessible to end users.

1. Deployment Models – Based on Usage

2. Service Models – Based on Applications

Deployment Models
Deployment models define the type of access to the cloud.

1. Public Cloud
- It allows systems and services to be easily accessible to the general public.

- Public cloud may be less secure because of its openness

2. Private Cloud
- The Private Cloud allows systems and services to be accessible within an organization.

- It offers increased security because of its private nature

Deployment Models (Contd.)
3. Community Cloud

- The Community Cloud allows systems and services to be accessible by group of organizations

4. Hybrid Cloud

- The Hybrid Cloud is mixture of public and private cloud.

- However, the critical activities are performed using private cloud while the non-critical activities
are performed using public cloud.

Service Models
Service Models are the reference models on which the Cloud Computing is based.

1. Software as a Service (SaaS)

- SaaS model allows to use software applications as a service to end users.

- SaaS is a software delivery methodology that provides licensed multi-tenant access to software
and its functions remotely as a Web-based service.

Service Models (Contd.)
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

- PaaS provides the runtime environment for applications, development & deployment tools, etc.

- PaaS provides all of the facilities required to support the complete life cycle of building and
delivering web applications and services entirely from the Internet.

Service Models (Contd.)
3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

- IaaS is the delivery of technology infrastructure as an on demand scalable service.

- provides access to fundamental resources such as physical machines, virtual machines, virtual
storage, etc.

15/09/2023 16
Cloud Storage
 Create an Account User name and password.
 Content lives with the account in the cloud.
 Log onto any computer with Wi-Fi to find your content

15/09/2023 17
Download For Storage
 Download a cloud based app to on your computer

 The app lives on your Computer

 Save files to the app

 When connected to the Internet it will sync with the cloud

 The Cloud can be accessed from any Internet connection
