INTRODUCTION
 Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared
resources, software, and information are provided to computers
and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.
 Cloud computing is a paradigm shift following the shift from

mainframe to client–server in the early 1980s. Details are

abstracted from the users, who no longer have need for
expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure "in
the cloud" that supports them.
WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
 Cloud computing is Internet based computing
where virtual shared servers provide software,
infrastructure, platform, devices and other
resources and hosting to customers on a pay-as-
you-use basis.
 All information that a digitized system has to offer

is provided as a service in the cloud computing

model. Users can access these services available
on the "Internet cloud" without having any
previous know-how on managing the resources
involved.
ARCHITECTURE
 Cloud architecture, the systems architecture
of the software systems involved in the
delivery of cloud computing, typically
involves multiple cloud components
communicating with each other over
application programming interfaces, usually
web services.
CLOUD COMPUTING SAMPLE
ARCHITECTURE
 This resembles the UNIX philosophy of having
multiple programs each doing one thing well and
working together over universal interfaces.
Complexity is controlled and the resulting systems
are more manageable than their monolithic
counterparts.
 The two most significant components of cloud
computing architecture are known as the front
end and the back end.
 The front end is the part seen by the client, i.e.
the computer user. This includes the client’s
network (or computer) and the applications used
to access the cloud via a user interface such as a
web browser.
 The back end of the cloud computing architecture
is the ‘cloud’ itself, comprising various computers,
servers and data storage devices.
TYPES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
PUBLIC CLOUD

 Public clouds are made available to the general

public by a service provider who hosts the cloud
infrastructure. Generally, public cloud providers
like Amazon AWS, Microsoft and Google own and
operate the infrastructure and offer access over
the Internet.
 With this model, customers have no visibility or
control over where the infrastructure is located. It
is important to note that all customers on public
clouds share the same infrastructure pool with
limited configuration, security protections and
availability variances.
PRIVATE CLOUD
 Private cloud is cloud infrastructure dedicated to a
particular organization. Private clouds allow
businesses to host applications in the cloud, while
addressing concerns regarding data security and
control, which is often lacking in a public cloud
environment.
 It is not shared with other organizations, whether
managed internally or by a third-party, and it can
be hosted internally or externally.
 HYBRID CLOUD
 Hybrid Clouds are a composition of two or more
clouds (private, community or public) that remain
unique entities but are bound together offering
the advantages of multiple deployment models.
 In a hybrid cloud, you can leverage third party
cloud providers in either a full or partial manner;
increasing the flexibility of computing.
Augmenting a traditional private cloud with the
resources of a public cloud can be used to
manage any unexpected surges in workload.
COMPONENTS
 SaaS (software as a service): SaaS refers to software
that’s made available as a web-based service.
 Utility computing: The predecessor of cloud computing,
utility computing provides the ability to access storage and
virtual servers on demand.
 Cloud-based web services: Similar to Saas, web services
in the cloud allow you to offer services online, such as
credit card processing services, employee payroll
processing or viewing an interactive map.
 MSP (managed service providers): The grandfather of
cloud computing, an MSP delivers applications to IT
instead of end-users.
 IaaS (infrastructure as a service): IaaS refers to
computer infrastructure (e.g., virtualization) that’s
delivered as a service.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD
COMPUTING
 Flexibility: There is a high rate of flexibility.
 Low Cost: Companies can save big by employing
cloud computing as it eliminates cost for hardware
and software.
 Speed & Scales :Traditional methods to buy and
configure hardware and software are time
consuming.
 Easier Management of Data and
Information: Since all data are located on a
centralized location, data are more organized
making it easy to manage.
 Device Diversity :We can access our
applications and data anywhere in the world, on
any system.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD
COMPUTING…
 Increased Storage Capacity :Increased Storage
Capacity is another benefit of the cloud
computing, as it can store more data as compared
to a personal computer.
 Easy to Learn and Understand: Since people

are quiet used to cloud applications like Gmail,

Google Docs, so anything related to the same is
most likely to be understood by the users.
 Automatic Updating: It saves companies time

and effort to update multiples server.

 Customize Setting: Cloud computing also
allows you to customize your business
applications.
DISADVANTAGES OF CLOUD
COMPUTING
 Dependency: One major disadvantages of
cloud computing is user’s dependency on the
provider.
 Risk: Cloud computing services means
taking services from remote servers.
 Requires a Constant internet
connection: The most obvious disadvantage
is that Cloud computing completely relies on
network connections.
 Security: Security and privacy are the
biggest concerns about cloud computing.
 Migration Issue: Migration problem is also
a big concern about cloud computing.
CONCLUSION
 So, while cloud computing is really really
great and you’re probably already using it,
either for business of for personal means,
here’s what we’ve learned from taking a look
at the pros and cons:
 Cloud computing is a really cheap way for
companies to have all the resources they
need in once place.
 It’s a much better way to spread your
resources, and it becomes easier to access
things from longer distances.
