7. IaaS- Infrastructure as a Service
• The IaaS layer extends the virtualization layer
by providing the mechanisms to provision and
control the virtual machines in a utility computing
manner.
• The end user is able to control cost by knowing
exactly how much each virtual machine instance
costs per minute/hour.
8. • Seeks to minimize the hassle and complexity
in deploying an application in the cloud.
• A programming platform is presented to the
end user, typically a developer at this point,
which leverages and programming language.
PaaS- Platform as a Service
9. SaaS- Software as a Service
• Simple way to get the application functionality
you need without incurring the cost of developing
that application.
• In this layer, even the platform has been
abstracted away from you as an end user.
10. PRACTICALLY LIMITLESS AND
EASILY ACCESSIBLE
IT SAVES THE COST OF
INFRASTRUCTURE AND HARDWARE
MAINTAINANCE
IT PROVIDES THE ACCESS TO
COMMERCIALY AVAILABLE
APPLICATIONS
12. •Cloud computing is still struggling in its infancy with negative and positive
Comments.
•Academia is bit slower to react.
•Its security deficiencies and benefits need to be carefully weighed before
making a decision to implement it..
