Cloud Computing : I-a-a-S

Cloud computing is categorized in three categories the S-a-a-S, P-a-a-S and the I-a-a-S. As I said on my last article about what is cloud computing I will further discuss what are those three categories mainly works. This time I will share about the Infrastructure-as-a-Service or I-a-a-S. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is the delivery of computer architecture over the Internet. 

This is mostly used by enterprises because they can control how much capacity is needed by their company, this also reflects on how much they pay. This helps them to control their cost. IaaS sometimes are referred to as utility computing.

What is Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is getting famous these days. It is one of the most promising technology that now arises. But really, what do they mean about cloud computing? Where do that come from? Is that like a famous phrase like cloud nine? How can I use it? Some mostly self-asked questions that normally comes in mind on everyone else hearing it the first time.

Well cloud computing is a term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. It is the use and access of multiple server-based computational resources via a digital network like the Internet. Most transactions in cloud computing are done on the internet, and mainly divided into three categories namely:
  •  Software-as-a-Service ( SaaS )
  • Platform-as-a-Service ( PaaS )
  • Infrastructure-as-a-Service ( IaaS )
I will give you what does this words mean on my next post, meanwhile lets concentrate more about the main meaning of cloud computing.

Ever think of what does this cloud computing can do us better? Ok, here's some.
  • Cloud computing does not require you installing anything from your laptop, desktop, or any computer you are using. This means less memory needed.
  • You only need an internet connection and a laptop or desktop or anything computer to perform any application that uses cloud.
  • No need to think about software updates because the the service is fully managed by the provider.
For now these are the data that I could provide to you readers but I'll promise to update more news about cloud computing.
