 INTRODUCTION

The term cloud refers to a network or the internet. It is

a technology that uses remote servers on the internet to
store, manage, and access data online rather than local
drives. The data can be anything such as files, images,
documents, audio, video, and more.

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 3

 Following are the operations that we can do using
cloud computing:
Developing new applications and services
Storage, back up, and recovery of data
Hosting blogs and websites
Delivery of software on demand
Analysis of data
Streaming videos and audios

 WHY CLOUD COMPUTING?
Small as well as large IT companies, follow the traditional
methods to provide the IT infrastructure. That means for
any IT company, we need a Server Room that is the
basic need of IT companies.
In that server room, there should be a database server, mail
server, networking, firewalls, routers, modem, switches,
QPS (Query Per Second means how much queries or load
will be handled by the server), configurable system, high
net speed, and the maintenance engineers.
To establish such IT infrastructure, we need to spend lots of
money. To overcome all these problems and to reduce the IT
infrastructure cost, Cloud Computing comes into existence

 CHARACTERISTICS OF
CLOUD COMPUTING
The cloud works in a distributed computing environment. It shares
resources among users and works very fast. (Agility)
The availability of servers is high and more reliable because
the chances of infrastructure failure are minimum. (High
Availability)
Cloud offers "on-demand" provisioning of resources on a large
scale, without having engineers for peak loads. (Scalability)
With the help of cloud computing, multiple users and applications
can work more efficiently with cost reductions by sharing common
infrastructure. (Multi Sharing)
Cloud computing enables the users to access systems using a web
browser regardless of their location or what device they use e.g. PC,
mobile phone, etc. As infrastructure is off-site (typically provided
by a third-party) and accessed via the Internet, users can connect
from anywhere. (Location and Device Independence)
By using cloud computing, the cost will be reduced because to take
the services of cloud computing, IT company need not to set its own
infrastructure and pay-as-per usage of resources. (Low Cost)

COMPUTING
ARCHITECTURE
 Cloud computing architecture is a combination of
service-oriented architecture and event-driven
architecture.

Cloud computing architecture is divided into the

following two parts -

Front End
Back End

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 9

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 10
 Front End
The front end is used by the client. It contains client-
side interfaces and applications that are required to
access the cloud computing platforms. The front end
includes web servers (including Chrome, Firefox,
internet explorer, etc.), thin & fat clients, tablets, and
mobile devices.
Back End
The back end is used by the service provider. It
manages all the resources that are required to provide
cloud computing services. It includes a huge amount of
data storage, security mechanism, virtual machines,
deploying models, servers, traffic control mechanisms,
etc.

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 11

 COMPONENTS OF CLOUD
COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

Client Infrastructure is a Front end component. It

provides GUI (Graphical User Interface) to interact with
the cloud.
The application may be any software or platform that a
client wants to access.
A Cloud Services manages that which type of service
you access according to the client’s requirement.
Runtime Cloud provides the execution and runtime
environment to the virtual machines.
Storage provides a huge amount of storage capacity in
the cloud to store and manage data.
Security is an in-built back end component of cloud
computing. It implements a security mechanism in the
back end

 Major Service Types:
Software as a Service (SaaS) (Google Apps,
Salesforce Dropbox, Slack, Hubspot, Cisco
WebEx)
Platform as a Service (PaaS) (Windows
Azure, Force.com, Magento Commerce
Cloud, OpenShift)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) (Amazon
Web Services (AWS) EC2, Google Compute
Engine (GCE), Cisco Metapod.)
