Service Models
 Service Models describe the type of
service that the service provider is
offering.

 Three types of Service Models are there:

◦ Software as s Service(SaaS)
◦ Platform as a Service(PaaS)
◦ Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)
 In this cloud computing model, application is hosted as a
service to customers who access it via the internet.

 Cloud provider manages and controls the underlying

◦ cloud infrastructure - including storage, network, operating
systems
◦ application platform
◦ or even individual application capabilities, with the possible
exception of limited user- specific application configuration
settings.

 The applications are accessible from various client devices

through either a web browser or a program interface.
SaaS
 Such applications feature automatic
upgrades, updates and patch management.

 All users have the same version of the

software so each user’s software is
compatible with others.

 Supports multiple users and provides a

shared data model through a single-instance
multi-tenancy model.
SaaS
 No licensing.

 Subscription based service.

Vendor advantages
 Vendors can fend off piracy concerns and
unlicensed use of software.

 Vendors get a constant stream of income.

 Benefit as more subscribers online.

device
◦ Inapplicable to Saas model
 Embedded software and hardware is combined
together and is inseparable
◦ Example: software embedded in ATM
machines, cell phones, routers, medical
equipment, etc
Company name
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
 In this cloud computing model, the cloud provider
offers and manages programming languages,
frameworks, libraries, services and tools for the
end user to create and deploy applications.

 The cloud provider also manages and controls

the underlying cloud infrastructure including
network, servers, operating systems and storage.

 The end user has control over the deployed

applications and possibly configuration settings
for the application hosting environment.
PaaS
 The difficulty with PaaS is that it locks the
developer( and the customer) into a
solution that is dependent upon the
platform vendor.

 An application written in Python against

Google’s API using the Google App
engine is likely to work only in that
environment.
 PaaS Providers

• Google App Engine

• Windows Azure
• Microsoft .Net Services
• Cisco Webex Connect
• Longjump
• Force.com
force.com (PaaS)
 Salesforce.com developed a PaaS platform force.com, which
allows developers to create applications that could be added
to salesforce.com’s offerings and hosting on salesforce.com
infrastructure.

 force.com uses a Java based programming language called

Apex for its application building.

 Apex is used only within the Salesforce.com platform and lets

users build business applications and manage data and
processes.

 A developer can use Apex to change the way the application

looks.
Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)
 In this cloud computing model, the cloud
provider manages and controls the
underlying infrastructure including storage,
network and computing resources.

 The end user is able to deploy, run and

control software, which may include
operating systems and applications and
possibly limited control of selected
networking components (e.g., host firewalls).
Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)
 Providers will also manage virtualization
technology enabling customers to run VMs
(virtual machines).

 When it comes to the Operating System (OS), it

is often arguable whether it’s managed by the
provider or customer.

 Using AWS as an example, AMI (Amazon Machine

Image) offers customers several types of
Operating Systems such as Windows Server,
Linux SUSE, and Linux Red Hat. Although the OS
is preloaded, AWS will not maintain or update it.
Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)
 The user can buy the infrastructure according to the
requirements at any particular point of time instead
of buying the infrastructure that might not be used
for months. IaaS operates on a “Pay as you go” model
ensuring that the users pay for only what they are
using.

 Virtualization enables IaaS providers to offer almost

unlimited instances of servers to customers and make
cost-effective use of the hosting hardware.

 Thus dynamic scaling, usage based pricing, reduced

costs and access to superior IT resources are some
of the benefits of IaaS.
IaaS
 IaaS is also sometimes referred to as
Hardware as a Service (HaaS).

 Beneficial for startup or small business.

 For bursty and dynamic loads, cost savings

will be significant.
 IaaS Providers

• Amazon
• Rackspace
• Gogrid
• GoDaddy
• Joyent
• Microsoft Sql Services
Deployment Models
 This refers to the location and
management of the infrastructure.

 There are four deployment models.

◦ Private Cloud
◦ Community Cloud
◦ Public Cloud
◦ Hybrid Cloud
◦ The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for
an organization.
◦ It may be managed by the organization or a
third party
◦ It may exist on premise or off premise.
Private Cloud
 Not much cost efficient.

 Tremendous value from a security point of view.

 Security concerns are addressed through secure-access VPN

or by the physical location within the client’s firewall system.

 For mission-critical applications we need to consider

downtime in terms of internet availability, quality and
performance. Hence, hosting the application with an on-
premises private cloud is the suggested approach.

 In addition to security reasons, this model is adopted by

organizations in cases where data or applications are
required to conform to various regulatory standards.
Private Cloud
 For example, for the healthcare and pharmaceutical
industries, moving data to the cloud may violate the norms.

 Different countries have different laws and regulations for

managing and handling data, which can obstruct the business
if cloud is under different jurisdiction.

 Several SaaS applications, such as SugarCRM, provide options

to their clients to maintain their data on their own premises
to ensure data privacy is maintained according to the
requirements of the particular business.

 Amazon also provides the option of a virtual private cloud.

 The cloud infrastructure is made available to
the general public or a large industry group
and is owned by an organization selling cloud
services.
The Public Cloud
 The public cloud deployment model represents true cloud
hosting.

 This model is best suited for business requirements wherein

it is required to
◦ manage load spikes,
◦ host SaaS applications,
◦ utilize provisional infrastructure for developing and testing
applications,
◦ and manage applications which are consumed by many users that
would otherwise require large investment in infrastructure from
businesses.

 This model helps to reduce capital expenditure and bring

down operational IT costs.
Community Cloud
◦ The cloud infrastructure is shared by several
organizations and supports a specific
community that has shared concerns (e.g.,
mission, security requirements, policy, and
compliance considerations).
◦ It may be managed by the organizations or a
third party.
COMMUNITY cloud
 Cloud infrastructure is shared by several
organizations with the same policy and
compliance considerations.

 This helps to further reduce costs as compared

to a private cloud, as it is shared by larger group.

 Various state-level government departments

requiring access to the same data relating to the
local population or information related to
infrastructure, such as hospitals, roads, electrical
stations, etc., can utilize a community cloud to
manage applications and data.
 The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or
more clouds (private, community, or public) that
remain unique entities but are bound together by
standardized or proprietary technology that enables
data and application portability.
The Hybrid Cloud
 This deployment model helps businesses to take
advantage of secured applications and data hosting on a
private cloud, while still enjoying scalability and cost
benefits by keeping shared data and applications on the
public cloud.

 For migrating workloads between public and private

hosting without any inconvenience to the users.

 For example, an organization might use a public cloud

service, Amazon S3 for archived data but continue to
maintain in-house storage for operational customer data.
Pros and Cons of using Public
Cloud
Pros
 Cost-effective

 Advantageous to organizations that wish to get their

information out to the public quickly and easily. Readily-
available tools make it easier to develop, launch, and promote
new services.

 Increased utility: Since they are easily accessible, public clouds

have a wide range of uses and can be utilized for numerous
activities.

Cons
 Security
 Limited customization
Pros and Cons of Private Cloud
