CLOUD COMPUTING
It’s arrived and everyone is talking about it, but how can something hosted in the ether out there somewhere be a safe and secure solution for managing and supporting your information technology?
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing means that you access, store and process your data and applications using a network of remote computers (basically accessed over the internet) instead of a local server or your computer’s hard drive. The word ‘cloud’ is simply a metaphor for internet.< /p>
Well, that can’t be very safe or secure can it? Well, yes it can. In actual fact you most likely already practice a lot of cloud based activity without even thinking about it every day through your mobile banking app or your Gmail email account.

THE THREE CLOUD MODELS

Cloud computing services are available in three models i.e. private cloud, public cloud and hybrid cloud models.
Private Cloud
Public Cloud
- Amazon Web Services (AWS);
- Microsoft Azure;
- Google Compute Engine; and
- IBM/SoftLayer.
Hybrid Cloud
CLOUD SERVICE CATEGORIES

Cloud computing can generally be divided into three broad service categories:
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
This is a software licensing and distribution model in which you subscribe to use software applications that are centrally hosted by a service provider or vendor. This is also called "on-demand software". Instead of installing and maintaining the software, you simply access it via the internet thereby freeing up your IT team from complex software and hardware management. - Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Platform as a service is a cloud-based platform environment in which you use a web-based platform on which to support the complete lifecycle of building and developing your cloud-based applications, in other words middleware as a service for cloud-based solution development. PaaS enables you to develop, deploy, run and manage web applications faster without the complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure. - Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service is a cloud infrastructure solution which provides you with computing resources such as servers, networking, storage, and data centre space on a demand basis. This reduces the need for you to invest in your own hardware and allows you to support the dynamic and ever changing workloads of modern business.
