- 6. What is Cloud Computing? Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet). Source: Wikipedia "Increasing our client's profitability through the integration of people, processes and technology..."
- 7. What is Cloud Computing? The term cloud theoretically signifies abstraction of technology, resources and its location that are very vital in building integrated computing infrastructure (including networks, systems and applications) All Cloud Computing models rely heavily on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet). Source: Wikipedia "Increasing our client's profitability through the integration of people, processes and technology..."
- 8. Deployment Models Public cloud applications, storage, and other resources are made available to the general public by a service provider. These services are free or offered on a pay-per-use model. Generally, public cloud service providers like Microsoft and Google own and operate the infrastructure and offer access only via Internet (direct connectivity is not offered). Community cloud shares infrastructure between several organizations from a specific community with common concerns (security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), whether managed internally or by a third- party and hosted internally or externally. The costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud (but more than a private cloud), so only some of the cost savings potential of cloud computing are realized.

- 10. Deployment Models Hybrid Cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models. By utilizing "hybrid cloud" architecture, companies and individuals are able to obtain degrees of fault tolerance combined with locally immediate usability without dependency on internet connectivity. Hybrid Cloud architecture requires both on-premises resources and off- site (remote) server based cloud infrastructure. Private cloud is cloud infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally.

- 13. Vertical Solutions’ vCloud Model vCloud utilizes advanced technologies to deliver a world class, secure and cost effective solution to hosting our clients’ core business applications (Cloud Hosting). Cloud Hosting — A type of internet hosting where the client accesses virtualized, dynamically scalable infrastructure on an as-needed basis.
