Delivering Services

from the Cloud

Types of Cloud
Models for Cloud Computing
 There are certain services and models working behind the scene
making the cloud computing feasible and accessible to end
users. Following are the working models for cloud computing:
 Deployment Models
 Service Models
Deployment Models
Deployment Models
 Deployment models define the type of access to the cloud,
 Where the cloud is located? Cloud can have any of the four
types of access:
 Public
 Private
 Hybrid
 Community
Deployment Models
Deployment Models
 Public Cloud
 The Public Cloud Allows Systems And Services To Be
Easily Accessible To The General Public. Public Cloud May
Be Less Secure Because Of Its Openness, E.G., E-mail and
Google Cloud

 Private Cloud
 The Private Cloud Allows Systems And Services To Be
Accessible Within An Organization. It Offers Increased
Security Because Of Its Private Nature. E.G., Azure Stack,
Oracle Cloud Platform, Azure Private Cloud, Cisco Cloud
Center
Deployment Models
 Community Cloud
 The Community Cloud allows systems and services to be
accessible by group of organizations. E.G., U.S.-based dedicated
IBM SoftLayer cloud for federal agencies, Ubuntu Enterprise
Cloud

 Hybrid Cloud
 The Hybrid Cloud is mixture of public and private cloud.
However, the critical activities are performed using private cloud
while the non-critical activities are performed using public cloud.
E.G., Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, Cisco,
Fujitsu, Google
Service Models
Service Models
 Service Models can be categorized into three
basic service models as listed below:
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3. Software as a Service (SaaS)
Service Models
 There are many other service
models all of which can take the
form like XaaS, i.e., Anything as a
Service.
 This can be Network as a Service,
Business as a Service, Identity as
a Service, Database as a Service
or Strategy as a Service.
Service Models
 INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IAAS)
 IaaS provides access to fundamental resources such as
physical machines, virtual machines, virtual storage, etc.

 PLATFORM AS A SERVICE (PAAS)

 PaaS provides the runtime environment for applications,
development & deployment tools, etc.

 SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SAAS)

 SaaS model allows to use software applications as a service to
end users.
Planning
 Before deploying applications to cloud, it is necessary to consider
your business requirements.

 Following are some issues one must have to think about:

 Data Security and Privacy Requirement
 Budget Requirements
 Type of cloud - public, private or hybrid
Planning
 Data backup requirements
 Training requirements
 Dashboard and reporting requirements
 Client access requirements
 Data export requirements
Public Cloud Model
 Benefits
Public Cloud Model
 Disadvantages
 Low Security: In public cloud model, data is hosted off-site
and resources are shared publicly, therefore does not ensure
higher level of security.
 Less Customizable: It is comparatively less customizable
than private cloud.
Private Cloud Model
The Private Cloud allows
Systems And Services To Be
Accessible With In An
Organization. The Private
Cloud Is Operated Only
Within A Single Organization.
However, It May Be
Managed Internally Or By
Third-party.
Private Cloud Model
 Benefits
Private Cloud Model
 Disadvantages
 Restricted Area: Private Cloud Is Only Accessible Locally
And Is Very Difficult To Deploy Globally.
 Inflexible Pricing: In Order To Fulfill Demand, Purchasing
New Hardware Is Very Costly.
 Limited Scalability: Private Cloud Can Be Scaled Only Within
Capacity Of Internal Hosted Resources.
Hybrid Cloud Model
 The Hybrid Cloud Is A Mixture Of Public And Private Cloud. Non-
critical Activities Are Performed Using Public Cloud While The Critical
Activities Are Performed Using Private Cloud.
Hybrid Cloud Model
Benefits
Hybrid Cloud Model
 Disadvantages
 Networking Issues: Networking Becomes Complex Due To
Presence Of Private And Public Cloud.
 Security Compliance: It Is Necessary To Ensure That Cloud
Services Are Compliant With Organization's Security Policies.
Community Cloud Model
 The Community Cloud Allows System And Services To Be Accessible By
Group Of Organizations. It Shares The Infrastructure Between Several
Organizations From A Specific Community. It May Be Managed Internally Or By
The Third-party.
Vendor Cloud Products
 Cloud for Business

 Businesses are using three Cloud service models to run their

business operations
 Software-As-A-Service (SaaS)
 Platform-As-A-Service (PaaS)
 Infrastructure-As-A-Service (IaaS)
 Software-As-A-Service (SaaS)
 Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is probably the most well-
known application for cloud computing.
 SaaS products distribute data online, and are accessible
from a browser on any device, which allows those companies
to continue to host the software.
 The ease of use, upfront, subscription based pricing and
lowered costs make SaaS one of the most attractive sectors
in all of business and tech.
