MODELS IN CLOUD COMPUTING

There Are Some Types Of Cloud Models Implemented Behind The Cloud
Services To Make It Efficient For The End Users. There Are Two Types
Of Cloud Models.
1 Deployment Models
2 Service Models
DEPLOYMENT MODELS
Deployment Model Can Be State As The Type Of Access To The Cloud
Services. Deployment Models Are Of Four Types
1. Private Cloud
2. Public Cloud
3. Hybrid Cloud
4. Community Cloud
PUBLIC CLOUD
• The Public Cloud Allows Systems And Services To Be Easily Accessible To
The General Public.
• Public Cloud May Be Less Secure Because Of Its Openness.
Examples
1 Gmail
2 Drop box
PROS OF PUBLIC CLOUD
Accessibility – All you need to access a SaaS application is a browser and an
internet connection. This is generally available on a wide range of devices
and from anywhere in the world, making SaaS more accessible than the
traditional business software installation.

• Continuous Operation Time – Another Advantage Of Public Cloud Is That

They Are Mostly Accessible 24/7.
CONS OF PUBLIC CLOUD
• Weaker Security - Weaker Security Sometimes Is Viewed As The
Main Disadvantage In Public Cloud Service. Most Of The Clouds Have
Excellent Security Measures In Place. However For Customers With
Sensitive Information (E.G. Financial Institutions) Trust In A Third Party Is
Often An Issue.
Connectivity requirement - since the SaaS model is based on web delivery, if
your internet service fails, you will lose access to your software or data.
 PRIVATE CLOUD
The Private Cloud Allows Systems And Services To Be Accessible
Within An Organization.
It Offers Increased Security Because Of Its Private Nature.
For Example
A Private Cloud Simply Means That The Access To Those Resources
Are Restricted To A Business Entity. That Could Mean A Company Or
School Owns The Resources And Only Members Of That Entity Have
Access To It.
PROS OF PRIVATE CLOUD
MORE SECURE - PRIVATE CLOUD SERVICES ARE DEDICATED TO A
SINGLE ORGANIZATION. THE HARDWARE, DATA STORAGE AND
CONNECTION ARE DESIGNED TO ASSURE HIGHER LEVELS OF SECURITY.
BETTER PERFORMANCE - A PRIVATE CLOUD STAYS INSIDE COMPANY'S
INTRANET NETWORK BEHIND A FIREWALL. IT PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE
SAME RESOURCES AS THE PUBLIC MODEL, BUT WITH LESS EXPOSURE
TO INTERNET SECURITY RISKS.
MORE CONTROL ON CONFIGURATIONS - A PRIVATE CLOUD IS
OPTIMIZED TO PROVIDE MORE SCALABILITY OF STORAGE AND
COMPUTING. THE RESOURCES IN THE PLATFORM ARE NON-SHARED.
THE CONFIGURATION IS MAINTAINED BY INTERNAL IT TEAM.
 CONS OF PRIVATE CLOUD
Higher Cost - In General, Private Clouds Are More Expensive Than Public
Because They Require Both Hardware And Maintenance.

• Maintenance - Set Up And Support For Private Cloud Is More Expensive

And Time Consuming Than Deploying On A Public Cloud Service.
HYBRID CLOUD
The Hybrid Cloud Is Mixture Of Public And Private Cloud. However, The
Critical Activities Are Performed Using Private Cloud While The Non-
critical Activities Are Performed Using Public Cloud.
An Example Of A Hybrid Cloud Solution Is An Organization That Wants To
Keep Confidential Information Secured On Their Private Cloud, But Make
More General, Customer-facing Content On A Public Cloud.
PROS AND CONS HYBRID CLOUD

Pros
The Main Advantage Of Hybrid Cloud Is That It Can Use Both Public
And Private Cloud At The Same Time.
Anywhere, Anytime Access For It Workers: When Issues Arise, And It
Issues Always Seem To Arise, Your It Team Can Gain Access To Your
Clouds From Anywhere, Anytime, Using Web-based Controls. That Offers
Major Benefits For The Management And Oversight Of Your Hybrid
Cloud.
CONS OF HYBRID COMPUTING
Cloud Expertise Is Required: When Using The Cloud, Enterprises Must Be Sure That They
Have The Right IT Staff Members Who Have The Deep And Varied Skills Needed To
Configure, Deploy And Manage Their Cloud Infrastructures. That Also Means That Enterprises
Will Require The Right Software Tools To Manage And Operate Their Deployments. Both Cost
Money, Which Will Be Needed To Support These Efforts.

Potential Application And Data Integration Challenges: By Placing Data And Applications
In Separate Private Or Public Clouds, This Can Cause Complications Which Will Require
Fixes From Your IT Team Or Vendors. These Challenges Can Make You Curse The Day You
Decided To Move To A Hybrid Cloud System, But They Can Be Managed And Resolved
Through Planning, Careful Attention To Detail And Imagination By Your IT Staffers
SERVICE MODELS
•Service Models Are The Reference Models On Which The Cloud Computing
Is Based. These Can Be Categorized Into Basic Service Models As Listed
Below:
• Infrastructure As A Service (Iaas)
• Platform As A Service (Paas)
• Software As A Service (Saas)
•Monitoring-as-a-service (Maas)
•Communication-as-a-service (Caas)
SAAS(SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE)
•Software As A Service (Saas) Is A Software Distribution Model In Which A
Third-party Provider Hosts Applications And Makes Them Available To
Customers Over The Internet.
•Saas Removes The Need For Organizations To Install And Run Applications
On Their Own Computers Or In Their Own Data Centers.
Examples
Drop Box
Slack
BENEFITS OF SAAS
Flexible Payments
Rather Than Purchasing Software To Install, Or Additional Hardware To Support It,
Customers Subscribe To A Saas Offering.
Accessibility And Persistence:
Since Saas Applications Are Delivered Over The Internet, Users Can Access Them
From Any Internet-enabled Device And Location.
Quick Set Up And Deployment - Saas Application Is Already Installed And
Configured In The Cloud. This Minimises Common Delays Resulting From Often
Lengthy Traditional Software Deployment.
CONS OF SAAS
Limited Range Of Applications - While Saas Is Becoming More Popular, There Are
Still Many Applications That Don't Offer A Hosted Platform.
Connectivity Requirement - Since The Saas Model Is Based On Web Delivery, If
Your Internet Service Fails, You Will Lose Access To Your Software Or Data
Performance - Saas May Run At Somewhat Slower Speeds Than On-premise Client
Or Server Applications, So It's Worth Keeping Performance In Mind Your Software
Isn't Hosted On A Local Machine.
(PAAS) PLATFORM AS A SERVICE
In This Service The Cloud Provider Gives The Ability To The Customer To
Deploy Customer Created Application Using Programming Languages, Tools
Etc, That Are Provided By The Cloud Provider. The Customer Cannot Control
The Underlying Architecture Including Operating Systems, Storage, Servers
Etc.
For Example Online Compilers.
BENEFITS OF PAAS
•Provide Platform For Deployment.
•Developers Persons Prefer, As It Eliminates The Capital Expenses They
Traditionally Have For On-premises Hardware And Software.
•As With Most Cloud Services, Paas Offers Dynamic Scaling. When You
Need More Robust Infrastructure, Your Provider Will Make It Happen, Scaling
Back When The Demand Is Low. You Will Only Pay For What You Use
CONS OF PAAS
Low Confidence In Data Security, The Fact That Corporate Data Can Be
Critical Or Not But It Is Private, Not Located Within The Walls Of The
Company Is Something That Is Not Generally Liked
IAAS(INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE)
• INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IAAS) IS ALSO KNOWN AS HARDWARE AS
A SERVICE (HAAS).
•IAAS IS THE VIRTUAL DELIVERY OF COMPUTING RESOURCES IN THE FORM
OF HARDWARE, NETWORKING, AND STORAGE SERVICES. IT MAY ALSO
INCLUDE THE DELIVERY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS AND VIRTUALIZATION
TECHNOLOGY TO MANAGE THE RESOURCES.
For example Google compute engine.
 IAAS(INFRASTRUCTURE AS A
SERVICE)
• Infrastructure As A Service (Iaas) Is Also Known As Hardware As A Service
(Haas).
•Iaas Is The Virtual Delivery Of Computing Resources In The Form Of
Hardware, Networking, And Storage Services. It May Also Include The
Delivery Of Operating Systems And Virtualization Technology To Manage The
Resources.
For Example Google Compute Engine.
PROS OF IAAS
No Expenses On Hardware Infrastructure. Iaas Vendors Provide And Maintain
Hardware Infrastructure: Servers, Storage, And Networking Resources. This
Means That Businesses Don’t Need To Invest In Expensive Hardware, Which Is A
Substantial Cost Savings As IT Hardware Infrastructure Is Rather Pricey.
Perfect Scalability. Though All Cloud-based Solutions Are Scalable, This Is
Particularly True Of Infrastructure As A Service, As Additional Resources Are
Available To Your Application In Case Of Higher Demand. Apps Can Also Be
Scaled Down If Demand Is Low.
Reliability And Security. Ensuring The Safety Of Your Data Is A Iaas Vendor’s
Responsibility. Hardware Infrastructure Is Usually Kept In Specially Designed
Data Centers, And A Cloud Provider Guarantees Security Of Your Data.
CONS OF IAAS
Iaas Is More Expensive Than Saas Or Paas, As You In Fact Lease Hardware
Infrastructure.
All Issues Related To The Management Of A Virtual Machine Are Your
Responsibility.
COMPARIOSN OF MODELS
MONITORING AS A SERVICE
•IT IS A FRAMEWORK THAT FACILITATES THE DEPLOYMENT OF MONITORING
FUNCTIONALITIES FOR VARIOUS OTHER SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS WITHIN
THE CLOUD.
•MONITORING AS A SERVICE (MAAS) IN THE CLOUD IS A CONCEPT THAT
COMBINES THE BENEFITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY AND
TRADITIONAL ON-PREMISE IT INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING SOLUTIONS.
THE MAAS VENDOR INVESTS IN THE MONITORING FRAMEWORK INCLUDING THE HARDWARE,
MONITORING SOFTWARE AND SPECIALIZED IT PERSONNEL ON BEHALF OF THE CUSTOMER.
FOR EXAMPLE
GOOGLE ANALYTICS.
WHEN TO USE MAAS
PRICE SENSITIVE CUSTOMERS: FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES, MAAS PROVIDES COST EFFECTIVE PAY
PER USE PRICING MODEL. CUSTOMERS DON’T NEED TO MAKE ANY HEAVY INVESTMENTS NEITHER IN CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES (CAPEX) NOR IN OPERATING EXPENDITURES (OPEX).

ZERO MAINTENANCE OVERHEADS: AS A MAAS, CUSTOMER, YOU DON’T NEED TO INVEST IN A NETWORK
OPERATIONS CENTRE. NEITHER DO YOU NEED TO INVEST AN IN-HOUSE TEAM OF QUALIFIED IT ENGINEERS
TO RUN THE MONITORING DESK SINCE THE MAAS VENDOR IS DOING THAT ON BEHALF OF THE CUSTOMER.

DISTRIBUTED INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS: IN SCENARIOS WHERE THE IT INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS ARE

DISTRIBUTED ACROSS DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND BRANCH OFFICES, MAAS IS A GOOD OPTION SINCE THE
MONITORING INFRASTRUCTURE IS CENTRALIZED IN THE CLOUD AND CAN EASILY MONITOR ALL DISTRIBUTED
INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS.
CAAS (COMMUNICATION AS A SERVICE)
COMMUNICATIONS AS A SERVICE (CAAS) IS A COLLECTION OF DIFFERENT VENDOR SERVICES THAT
FACILITATE BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS. ORGANIZATIONS MAY USE THESE AND SIMILAR SERVICES TO
LOWER COSTS AND INCREASE EFFICIENCY FOR BUSINESS PROCESSES INVOLVING AUDIO OR VIDEO
TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

CAAS IS PART OF A LARGER CATEGORY OF SERVICES KNOWN AS SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SAAS), IN

WHICH VENDORS OFFER SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OVER THE INTERNET. IT IS ALSO AN
ALTERNATIVE TO THE TRADITIONAL MODEL OF BUYING AND INSTALLING LICENSED SOFTWARE ON
SITE.
