End users access cloud based applications through a web browser or a light weight desktop or mobile apps while business software and data are stored on servers at a remote location. Services are provided as a utility, most often on a subscription basis Saves money and energy, as a vendor maintains the infrastructure and applications that run in the cloud environment instead of the organization. 14 8/12/2013 Cloud Computing Models On Premise IaaS PaaS SaaS Applications Applications Applications Applications Data Data Data Data You manage You Runtime Runtime Runtime Runtime by vendor Managed You manage You Middleware Middleware Middleware by vendor Managed Middleware O/S O/S O/S O/S Managed by by vendor Managed Virtualization Virtualization Virtualization Virtualization You manage You Servers Servers Servers Servers Storage Storage Storage Storage Networking Networking Networking Networking Why Cloud Computing?

These services are free or offered on a pay-per-use model. Generally, public cloud service providers like Microsoft and Google own and operate the infrastructure and offer access only via Internet (direct connectivity is not offered). Public Cloud Vendors Amazon Rackspace IBM Verizon AT&T HP Microsoft Google 17 8/12/2013 Private Cloud Dedicated system of servers, managed for a single enterprise.
