CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud networking is actually a set of virtualized computers that provides availability of system resources, data storage, computing power without direct management by the user. It has become the most advanced and profitable method of business today,

“I can get to server faster, if I have non-connected computers in byzantine “(Steve Jobs).

The cloud computing is further divided into three main working structures i.e.

1. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

2. PaaS(Platform as a Service)

3. SaaS(Software as a Service)

IaaS:

It is a scalable and automated type of service. IaaS is a self-service best for storage, monitoring computer networking, and other services. It’s most suitable if one wants to purchase on-demand resources instead of struggling with the hardware equipment. It is a ‘virtual cloud’ like service.

It’s the most suitable for small businesses and has these advantages;

· Flexible computing

· Automate deployment of resources

· Complete control of infrastructure

· Highly scalable

· Resources purchased as needed

PaaS:

It is an application-based service that mainly provides customized applications that are being controlled by the third party i.e. software owner. It’s a network system entirely over the web thus reduce the problem of storage and updates. As a “Public Cloud Service, “ it allows us to access various developers and integrates databases.

It carries advantages like;

SaaS:

It is the most commonly utilized method. It uses the internet as the medium to do business that completely finishes the need to install various apps. This forms the largest communities over the internet.
