CLOUD COMPUTING

in
BUSINESS
Cloud computing is a technology allowing access to computing resources
over the internet, enabling scalable and flexible solutions for storage,
processing, and applications.
TYPES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
Generally there are four types of cloud computing that we can see
and listed below,

Private Cloud : Usually reside behind a firewall and are utilized

01 by a single organization. Recommended for businesses with very
tight regulatory requirements

Public Cloud : Services offered over the public internet by third-

02 party providers. Resources like servers, storage, and applications
are shared across multiple organizations.
Hybrid Cloud : A combination of public and private clouds that
03 allows data and applications to be shared between them.

Community Cloud : Shared infrastructure catering to specific industries

04 or organizations with common concerns, like security, compliance
requirements. Multiple entities share the cloud infrastructure.
GROWTH
•This chart represents the growth in the number of cloud computing users from
2010 to 2022. The number of users is measured in millions.

•In 2010, there were 100 million cloud computing users.

•By 2012, the number doubled to 200 million.
•The trend continued, and by 2014, it doubled again to 400 million users.
•This doubling pattern persisted every two years: in 2016, there were 800
million users; in 2018, it reached 1200 million (or 1.2 billion) users.
•The growth remained consistent, and by 2020, the number of users doubled
once more, reaching 2000 million (or 2 billion) users.
•Finally, by 2022, the number of cloud computing users had increased to 3000
million (or 3 billion) users.

The chart illustrates a significant and consistent increase in the adoption of cloud
computing over these years, with a consistent doubling of the user base
approximately every two years. This exponential growth indicates the expanding
reliance on cloud technology across various industries and sectors.
 Advantages of Cloud Computing for Businesses

Reduced infrastructure costs and operational

Cost Savings expenses. Avoids hardware maintenance
hassles.
Scalable resources prevent underutilization or over-
provisioning. Global accessibility fosters remote
work and collaboration. Flexibility
Automation minimizes manual intervention and
errors. Cloud provider optimizations enhance
Efficiency performance.

Cloud service providers often offer robust

infrastructure, redundancy, and
backups,ensuring high availability and reliability Reliability
of services
Encryption, authentication, and authorization
protocols safeguard data in transit and at rest
Security
CLOUD COMPUTING FOR REMOTE WORK AND
DATA MANAGEMENT

Remote Work
Global access enables secure data and application access.
Device agnosticism accommodates diverse hardware
preferences.

Collaboration
Real-time tools enhance simultaneous document
editing.Cloud-hosted communication platforms facilitate
effective teamwork.

Improved Data Management

Centralized cloud storage ensures secure, accessible data.
Automatic updates and backups enhance efficiency and
prevent data loss.
 SERVICE MODELS OF CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing is a technology that enables users to access and use computing resources (such as servers,
storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence) over the internet, often referred to as "the
cloud." There are three primary service models in cloud computing, known as the Cloud Service Models or
Cloud Computing Service Models. These models describe the level of control and responsibility that a service
provider and a customer have over the computing resources. The three main service models are:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS)

Offers virtualized computing Provides a platform allowing Delivers software applications

resources over the internet. Users customers to develop, run, and over the internet on a subscription
can rent virtual machines, storage, manage applications without basis. Users access these
and networking on a pay-as-you- dealing with the underlying applications through a web
