What is cloud computing

cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including


servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and
intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation,
flexible resources, and economies of scale. You typically pay only for
cloud services you use, helping lower your operating costs, run your
infrastructure more efficiently and scale as your business needs change.
Benefits of cloud computing
Cloud computing is a big shift from the traditional way businesses think about IT resources. Here are
seven common reasons organisations are turning to cloud computing services:

Cost
Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software and setting up and
running on-site datacentres—the racks of servers, the round-the-clock electricity for power and
cooling, the IT experts for managing the infrastructure. It adds up fast.

Speed
Most cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of
computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks, giving
businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning.

Global scale
The benefits of cloud computing services include the ability to scale elastically. In cloud speak, that
means delivering the right amount of IT resources—for example, more or less computing power,
storage, bandwidth—right when it is needed and from the right geographic location.
Productivity
On-site datacentres typically require a lot of “racking and stacking”—hardware setup, software
patching, and other time-consuming IT management chores. Cloud computing removes the need for
many of these tasks, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals.

Performance
The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure datacenters, which are
regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. This offers
several benefits over a single corporate datacenter, including reduced network latency for
applications and greater economies of scale.

Reliability
Cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery and business continuity easier and less
expensive because data can be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider’s network.

Security
Many cloud providers offer a broad set of policies, technologies and controls that strengthen your
security posture overall, helping protect your data, apps and infrastructure from potential threats.

Types of cloud computing


Not all clouds are the same and not one type of cloud computing is right for everyone. Several different models,
types and services have evolved to help offer the right solution for your needs.
First, you need to determine the type of cloud deployment or cloud computing architecture, that your cloud services
will be implemented on. There are three different ways to deploy cloud services: on a public cloud, private cloud or
hybrid cloud.
Public cloud
Public clouds are owned and operated by a third-party ,hich deliver their computing resources like servers and
storage over the Internet. Microsoft Azure is an example of a public cloud. With a public cloud, all hardware,
software and other supporting infrastructure is owned and managed by the cloud provider. You access these
services and manage your account using a web browser.
Private cloud
A private cloud refers to cloud computing resources used exclusively by a single business or organisation. A private
cloud can be physically located on the company’s on-site datacenter. Some companies also pay third-party service
providers to host their private cloud. A private cloud is one in which the services and infrastructure are maintained
on a private network.
Hybrid cloud
Hybrid clouds combine public and private clouds, bound together by technology that allows data and applications
to be shared between them. By allowing data and applications to move between private and public clouds, a hybrid
cloud gives your business greater flexibility, more deployment options and helps optimise your existing
infrastructure, security and compliance.
