Cloud computing
- 2. Linking many computers together to form one very big computer used to perform all your tasks on the Internet.
- 3. What is Cloud Computing? • Using web apps or server services you pay to access instead of software or hardware you buy and install. • Computer services delivered via the Internet covering more than apps & data storage.
- 5. Cloud Computing Categories • Infrastructure (IaaS) • Platform (PaaS) • Software (SaaS)
- 6. 1) Infrastructure as a Service Provides users with virtual infrastructure like servers and data storage space. This is where virtualization fits into the cloud.
- 7. Virtualization Good News: Allows expansion of IT resources without incurring costs of physically expanding infrastructure. Bad News: Be patient. Stay tuned!
- 8. 2) Platform as a Service Provides users with development environment services where they create and run home-grown apps.
- 9. 3) Software as a Service Provides users with access to apps already operating in the cloud.
- 10. Cloud Computing Adds Up… …when SaaS (Software as a Service) is combined with PaaS (hardware Platform). SaaS & PaaS describe the business model of users logging into a centralized hub to access their software products.
- 11. No current regulations for data security risks that would punish companies gambling with massive amounts of sensitive data.
- 12. Cloud Computing Disadvantages • Security • Downtime • Cost • Inflexibility • Lack of support
