SaaS offers a complete application as service and PaaS offers the ability to
develop an application, IaaS doesn’t care about the application at all, it provides
all the resources.
Server: The server layer consists of computer hardware and computer software
products that are specifically designed for the delivery of cloud services, including
multi-core processors, virtualization and other techniques etc.
DEPLOYMENT MODELS:
Public Cloud: A cloud service handled by the enterprise on its premises. Public
cloud provides the assurance of security and privacy but with higher costs
Private Cloud: Cloud services completely external to the enterprise and handled
by the third party service providers.
These are some characteristics of the cloud based web services that a client
expects from the cloud provider.
Availability:
On demand services: Clients use cloud services only when they need to. No need
to keep them permanently. The user can buy the resources according to the
requirements at any particular point of time instead of buying the resources that
might not be used for months.
Easy to use: No resource maintenance overhead a client can only use the
computing resources and does not manage them.
Lower Cost: Pay as you go plan, Clients only pay for the resources they use. It
may be short term as CPU time used or long term as in case of data storage in the
clouds. Cloud computing involves shifting the capital expenditures or buying and
installing servers, storage, networking and related infrastructure to operating
expenses where clients only pay for the resources used.
Device and Location independent: A client can access cloud based services from
anywhere irrespective of his\her location and the device being used. It can be a
PC or a mobile phone which can access internet.
Maintenance: All the resources used over the cloud are maintained by its
providers, with a little maintainability overhead on the cloud user.
Reliability & Liability: Users expect the cloud to be a reliable resource, especially
if a cloud provider takes over the task of running “mission-critical” applications
and will expect clear delineation of liability if serious problems occur.
