The document discusses key concepts related to cloud computing including that it relies on sharing computer resources over the internet rather than local servers, it provides on-demand access to computing resources, and examples of cloud service models include SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. The cloud computing model offers various benefits such as cost effectiveness, unlimited storage, ease of access, and elastic computing ability. Some example industries that use cloud computing include banks, healthcare, and logistics companies.
2. Cloud computing
A type of computing that relies on sharing
computer resources rather than having local servers
or personal devices-http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/cloud_computing.html
The practice of using a network of remote servers
hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and
process data, rather than a local server or a
personal computer - Google
The elastic leasing of pooled computer resources
over the internet MIS book
4. Grid Computing
Solving large problems
with parallel computing
Utility Computing
Offering computing
resources as a metered
service
SaaS
Network based
subscriptions to
applications
Cloud Computing
Anytime, anywhere access
to IT resources delivered
dynamically as a service
5. Front End
Client computer
Back End
Servers, Data
Storage, Computers
6. Typically each application will have its own
dedicated server
There are multiple digital storage devices that
are located all over the globe to keep data
safe and secure. If one server goes down the
data is replicated on multiple other servers so
the data is always available to the end user
7. A number of characterises can be used to define the
nature of the solution and services offered through
cloud computing:
8. Cost Effectiveness
Unlimited Data storage and security
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Ease of access and availability
Connect Seamless Connectivity to all their data,
data of their partners, customers
Elastic and unlimited computing ability
Managing and analyzing big data
10. Cloud Service Models
SaaS
PaaS
IaaS
Deployment Models:
Public, Private, Hybrid and Community
11. Industries using the Cloud:
Banks
Pharmaceutical Companies
Health Care
Hospitality and Food businesses
Logistics and Transportation
Credit unions
Securities and Investment Companies
12. Non commercial Uses:
Social Media and communication
Norwegian use of Bank IDs
Leicester Tigers
Rotary Clubs
13. Hardware-agnostic
Greater scale, virtually unlimited resources
Increased Power and reduced cost - Cloud become
predominant
Reduced Investment in Hardware
Transition to Mobile Environment
14. Security Enhancements
Shift to Thin Virtual Environment
Decreased human involvement in Operation
Increased Specialization
15. Security Enhancements
Improved encryption technologies growing user confidence
Abundance of small affordable sensors better analytics
Increase in Forensic Capabilities
