Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can
be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.
Today, it is more or less accepted that there are three Cloud Computing models depending on the type of service provided, IaaS, Infrastructure as a Service, PaaS, Platform as a Service, and SaaS, Software as a Service.
IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service
Infrastructure as a Service provides infrastructure capabilities like processing, storage, networking, security, and other resources which allow consumers to deploy their applications and data. This is the lowest level provided by the Cloud Computing paradigm. Some examples of IaaS are: Amazon S3/EC2, Microsoft Windows Azure, and VMWare vCloud.
PaaS – Platform as a Service
Platform as a Service provides application infrastructure such as programming languages, database management systems, web servers, applications servers, etc. that allow applications to run. The consumer does not manage the underlying platform including, networking, operating system, storage, etc. Some examples of PaaS are: Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure Services Platform, and ORACLE/AWS.
SaaS – Software as a Service
Software as a Service is the most sophisticated model hiding all the underlying details of networking, storage, operating system, database management systems, application servers, etc. from the consumer. It provides the consumers end-user software applications most commonly through a web browser (but could also be though a rich client). Some examples of SaaS are: Salesforce CRM, Oracle CRM On Demand, Microsoft Online Services, and Google Apps.
PaaS – Platform as a Service have:
AIaaS – Application Infrastructure as a Service
Some analysts consider this model to provide application middleware, including applications servers, ESB, and BPM (Business Process Management).
APaaS – Application Platform as a Service
Provides application servers with added multitenant elasticity as a service. The model PaaS (Platform as a Service) mentioned before includes AIaaS and APaaS.
SaaS – Software as a Service have:
BPaaS – Business Process as a Service
Provides business processes such as billing, contract management, payroll, HR, advertising, etc. as a service.
IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service have:
DaaS – Desktop as a Service
Based on application streaming and virtualization technology, provides desktop standardization, pay-per-use, management, and security.
CaaS – Communications as a Service
Management of hardware and software required for delivering voice over IP, instant messaging, video conferencing, for both fixed and mobile devices.
NaaS – Network as a Service
It allows telecommunication operators to provide network communications, billing, and intelligent features as services to consumers.
