What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing allows businesses and individuals to use hardware and
software as a service over a network.
The cloud services must have these
essential characteristics:
• on-demand, self-serve access
• broad network access that accepts all
devices – including:
• computers,
• smart phones,
• game consoles,
• and other network-enabled
devices
• resource pooling
• rapid elasticity or scalability
• Measured service optimization so that
usage can be monitored, controlled,
reported, providing transparency for
both the provider and consumer of the
utilized service
The types of Cloud Deployments
Some concerns in cloud computing
• Security of sensitive data on cloud services
• In case of one-to-one relationship of business to provides
the responsibility and the security level are higher.
The complexity is in the case of public cloud and hybrid
cloud.
• Multi-tenancy is as well an important characteristic of cloud
services. This element requires that the provider implies
policies for:
–
–
–
–
–
segmentation
isolation,
governance,
service levels,
billing models for different customer.
