• Cloud Computing is one of the most popular buzzwords used these days,
and it is the upcoming technology where it provides resources to the
consumers in the form of different services like s/w, infrastructure,
platform and security.

• Services are made available to users on demand via the Internet from a
cloud computing provider’s servers as opposed to being provided from a
company’s own on-premise servers.
07/19/24 Cloud Computing -Unit-V 2
 Cloud Service Providers(CSP)
• Cloud services are designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications,
resources, and services and are fully managed by a cloud service provider.

• A cloud service can dynamically scale to meet the needs of its users, and
because the service provider supplies the hardware and software necessary
for the service.

• Examples of cloud services include:

1.online data storage.

2. backup solutions.
3.web-based e-mail services.

4.hosted office suites and document collaboration services.

5.database processing, and managed technical support services.

07/19/24 Cloud Computing -Unit-V 3

 Cloud Service Providers(CSP)
• Cloud services can be broadly classified into three types:
– Software as a Service (SaaS),

– Platform as a Service (PaaS), and

– Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

– With growing technologies, many more services are emerging in this field, such as Security
as a Service (SeaaS).
– Knowledge as a Service.

– Data Analytics as a Service.

• Many companies have come forward to adapt the cloud environment and
ensure that the users as well as the companies benefit from this. Amazon,
Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, EMC, Salesforce, Oracle, IBM, and many more
companies provide various tools and services in order to give cloud support
for their customers.

 Captiva Cloud Toolkit
– 3. IE: Image enhancement is a kind of filter or repairing tool for images that
are not clear.
– It enhances the image quality, so it could be processed easily through
Captiva. One can configure IE as per business requirement and images being
received. The functionalities of IE are deskew, noise removal, etc.
• De-skewing is a process where the computer detects and corrects the skew in an image file.

– 4. Index: Indexing is a data capturing activity in Captiva through which one can
capture key data from various fields.

For example, if bank form is being processed, the A/C no. and sort code could
be the indexing field.

Indexing could be added as per requirement of business.

A validation field could be added to avoid unwanted data entry while indexing
any document.
07/19/24 Cloud Computing -Unit-V 10
 Captiva Cloud Toolkit
– 5. Export: Export is the exit point of Captiva where images/data are sent to
various repositories like file, net, document, or data.

The exported data are used for business requirements of various business
divisions.

For example, if we are capturing the A/C no. and sort code for a bank
application, this could be mapped to any department where it is needed.
– 6. Multi: Multi is the last process in Captiva to delete batches that have gone
through all modules and exported value successfully.

Multi could be configured as per need of business.

In the case when it is required to take a backup of batches, this module could
be avoided.

deleted by a consumer, the message can be received “at least once”.

• Once message is processed it must be deleted to prevent deduplication

of messages.

• The message size is limited to 256KB (the body and all attributes).

• Messages are not retained indefinitely in the queue.

• By default, messages are deleted after 4 days, but you can extend this
time to 14 days.
