Cloud Solutions Guide
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services – like servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics – over the internet, or “the cloud”. Instead of owning and maintaining physical data centers and servers, businesses can access technology services on-demand from a cloud services provider.
Key Characteristics:
- On-demand self-service: Access resources without human interaction.
- Broad network access: Available over the internet from any device.
- Scalability: Easily scale resources up or down.
- Subscription service: Pay only for what you use.
Types of Cloud Computing
There are three main types of cloud computing services, often referred to as the cloud computing stack:
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis.
Use case: Email, CRM, collaboration tools (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google Workspace).
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
Offers hardware and software tools over the internet, typically for application development.
Use case: Developers building web or mobile apps without managing infrastructure.
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
Provides virtualized computing resources, such as virtual machines, storage, and private networks, over the internet.
Use case: Hosting websites, backup and recovery, high-performance computing.
