Introducing Cloud…
• Computing Services Online• Software & hardware managed by 3rd parties at
remote locations• Access to information and computer resources
globally • Different Service models :
– Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Software as a Service (SaaS)
Type of Clouds
Public cloud •A Standard cloud computing model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as applications and storage, available to the general public over the Internet.
Private cloud •Established for a specific group or organization and limits access to just that group.
Community cloud •Shared among two or more organizations that have similar cloud requirements.
Hybrid cloud •Combination of at least two clouds, where the clouds included are a mixture of public, private, or community.
Cloud Models
Software as a Service (SaaS)• Accessed through a web
browser• Subscription-based model
Platform as a service (PaaS)• Delivery of a computing
platform • Solution stack as a service.• Subscription-based model
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)• Delivers computer infrastructure,
typically a platform virtualization environment, as a service
• Subscription-based model
Software as a Service (SaaS)?
• Software delivered via browser• SaaS eliminates:
– Software Installation– Running apps on customer’s personal
computers or Servers – Simplified maintenance, upgrades and
support
• App delivery is closer to a one-to-many model than to a one-to-one model

The
5 dumb mythssurrounding Cloud Computing
Myth 1 : My data is not secure
Fact:Cloud is more secure than your servers.

servers.
Myth 2: My company is too big to use the cloud
Facts:• Small, Medium and MNC’s use cloud services.• Larger companies can make better use of the cloud
with a bigger budget and an IT dept. that can aptly manage data.

Myth 3: My data is not completely mine
Fact:• Every legitimate Cloud storage provider has
special clauses in their Terms of Service which specify that the user retains complete ownership of their data.
Myth 4: It suits the west, and only the west.
Facts:• A TCS study in 2011 shows that Cloud
adoption was highest in Latin America- 42%
• Asia pacific region will have the highest adoption of cloud in 2014 with 52% as against the US’s usage of 33%

vendors • A Win-Win proposition
