Software is organized information that enables computers to function, and comes in two main types: system software that controls basic computer functions, and application software for specialized tasks. There are different models for software licensing, including commercial licenses where the producer controls distribution, public domain with no restrictions, and shareware that retains copyright. Web-hosted office suites provide software applications via websites, allowing collaborative work from any device with internet access, but require a consistent connection and subscription fees.

This document provides an overview of cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as manipulating, configuring, and accessing applications online through a combination of hardware, software, and internet infrastructure. There are four key components and models that enable cloud computing services. Cloud services can be deployed through public, private, hybrid, or community models and delivered through infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), or software as a service (SaaS) models. The document also discusses advantages like lower costs and disadvantages like requiring an internet connection for cloud computing services.
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that provides infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). It supports many programming languages and frameworks. Azure provides global datacenters and networking capabilities to build, deploy, and manage applications and services. Key components of Azure include compute, storage, databases, analytics, artificial intelligence, and more. Users can choose between IaaS, which provides full control of operating systems and platforms, and PaaS, which handles infrastructure maintenance. Azure offers competitive pricing and security while allowing applications to easily scale globally.
Web sever environmentA Web server is a program that uses HTTP (Hy.pdfaquacareser
Web sever environment:
A Web server is a program that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to serve the files that
form Web pages to users, in response to their requests, which are forwarded by their computers\'
HTTP clients. Dedicated computers and appliances may be referred to as Web servers as
well.The process is an example of the client/server model. All computers that host Web sites
must have Web server programs. Leading Web servers include Apache (the most widely-
installed Web server), Microsoft\'s Internet Information Server (IIS) and nginx
(pronouncedengine X) from NGNIX. Other Web servers include Novell\'s NetWare server,
Google Web Server (GWS) and IBM\'s family of Domino servers. Web servers often come as
part of a larger package of Internet- and intranet-related programs for serving email,
downloading requests for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) files, and building and publishing Web
pages. Considerations in choosing a Web server include how well it works with the operating
system and other servers, its ability to handle server-side programming, security characteristics,
and the particular publishing, search engine and site building tools that come with it.
Advantages of using a web server within your development environment:
Problems posed by web server environment and methods to solve:
Various high-profile hacking attacks have proven that web security remains the most critical
issue to any business that conducts its operations online. Web servers are one of the most
targeted public faces of an organization, because of the sensitive data they usually host. Securing
a web server is as important as securing the website or web application itself and the network
around it. If you have a secure web application and an insecure web server, or vice versa, it still
puts your business at a huge risk. Your company’s security is as strong as its weakest point.
Although securing a web server can be a daunting operation and requires specialist expertise, it is
not an impossible task. Long hours of research and an overdose of coffee and take away food,
can save you from long nights at the office, headaches and data breaches in the future. Irrelevant
of what web server software and operating system you are running, an out of the box
configuration is usually insecure. Therefore one must take some necessary steps in order to
increase web server security. Below is a list of tasks one should follow when securing a web
server.
1. Remove Unnecessary Services
Default operating system installations and configurations, are not secure. In a typical default
installation, many network services which won’t be used in a web server configuration are
installed, such as remote registry services, print server service, RAS etc. The more services
running on an operating system, the more ports will be left open, thus leaving more open doors
for malicious users to abuse. Switch off all unnecessary services and disable them, so next time
the server is rebooted, they .

Creating Mobile Websites with Kentico CMS 7Thomas Robbins
This document discusses creating mobile websites with Kentico CMS 7. It notes that there are over 6 billion mobile subscribers worldwide, with mobile access to the web growing significantly. The document outlines different approaches to creating mobile websites, including mobile subsites, responsive design, and native/hybrid applications. It provides recommendations on when each approach is best suited. The key approaches discussed are mobile subsites for simpler implementation, responsive design for a single adaptive site, and native/hybrid apps for more advanced features or performance requirements.
The document defines cloud computing and discusses its key characteristics and service models. It outlines the different types of cloud deployments including public, private, community, and hybrid clouds. It also discusses the advantages of cloud computing such as cost savings, scalability, and device independence, as well as concerns around internet dependency and vendor lock-in.
The document discusses cloud analytics, cloud testing, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Cloud analytics allows organizations to implement analytics capabilities in the cloud to scale easily as the company grows and removes the burden of on-premise management. Cloud testing verifies cloud functions like redundancy and performance scalability. VDI creates a virtualized desktop environment on remote servers that users can access from any device, bringing benefits like access, security, cost reduction, and device portability.
Cloud computing models provide services via remote servers accessed over the internet rather than local hardware. There are several service models including:
SaaS which provides software applications accessed via web browser;
PaaS which provides platforms for developers to build applications; and
IaaS which provides basic computing and storage infrastructure.
Everything as a service (XaaS) combines these models to offer any IT service via the cloud.
Design and Configuration of App Supportive Indirect Internet Access using a ...IJMER
Nowadays apps satisfy a wide array of requirements but are particularly very useful for educational institutions trying to realize their mobile learning systems or for companies wishing to bolster their businesses. A company/institute that wants to perform web filtering, caching, user monitoring etc. and allow Internet access only after authentication might use an explicit proxy. It has
been observed that most of the apps that need to connect to the Internet through an explicit proxy, do not
work whatsoever. In this paper, a solution has been proposed to get the apps working without having to
avoid the use of a proxy server. The solution is developed around transparent proxy and makes use of a captive portal for authentication. Oracle VM VirtualBox was used to develop a test bed for the experiment and pfSense was used as the firewall which has both proxy server and captive portal services integrated on a single platform. When tested, Windows 8 apps as well as Ubuntu apps worked well without sacrificing proxy server services such as web filtering. The proposed solution is widely
applicable and cost-effective as it uses open source software and essentially the same hardware as used
for explicit proxy deployments.
In this document, cloud computing concepts and service models including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) are introduced. Effective use of cloud computing in primary schools is also discussed. Specifically, adopting cloud computing can help schools reduce IT costs, improve resource utilization, easily update software, and provide students and teachers secure access to applications and data from any device. Case studies of schools in Hong Kong that have implemented virtual desktop infrastructure and cloud solutions are presented.
Cloud computing delivers computer services such as software, infrastructure, security and platforms as utilities via the internet. Key benefits include lower costs compared to maintaining internal infrastructure, flexibility and scalability. Major types of cloud services include Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Security as a Service (SecaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS). Emerging specialized cloud services also provide opportunities for on-demand access to communication, storage, backup and file sharing resources.
This document provides an overview of cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of a computer's hard drive. The cloud delivers computing resources like storage, databases, and computing power over the Internet. There are different types of cloud services including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud computing provides advantages like reduced costs, scalability, and accessibility but also risks around security, privacy, and dependency on cloud providers.
Introduces some fundamentals of cloud based software and discusses architectural issues for product developers. Covers containers, databases and cloud architecture choices
The document discusses considerations for migrating applications to the cloud. It covers the NIST cloud computing reference model, including on-demand self-service, broadband network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. Other topics include Infrastructure as a Service vs Platform as a Service, networking issues, failure expectations, licensing, and the application lifecycle in the cloud. The goal is to help understand options for moving applications to the cloud and better prepare for that migration.
Storage-as-a-Service:Advantages:
You can expand the amount of disk space available as you need it and pay only for what you use.
You do not have to maintain the hardware.
Provides the disaster recovery system for you, and getting back deleted files or entire directories is part of the service.
Disadvantages:
You are dependent on the Internet as the mechanism to connect to your storage-as-a-service provider, and if the network goes down, you lose that connection.
Performance can be an issue.
The cost of the storage-as-a-service provider can be prohibitive when compared with an on-premise solution. Database-as-a-Service:Benefits:
The ability to avoid hardware and software costs by leveraging a remote database that you use as you need it and just what you need to use.
Database maintenance, including backing up and restoring the database and managing users, can be avoided through the use of database-as-a-service.
You can avoid the task of doing upgrades and bug fixes to the database.
Drawbacks:
There are legal, compliancy, and privacy issues around data, and in some instances, leveraging remote databases is illegal and/or not within compliance for some types of data.
Security can be an issue when using database-as-a-service.
Many of the interfaces offered by database-as-a-service providers are proprietary in nature and thus can be difficult to leverage from applications that need to access the data.
Offer only a subset of the capabilities found in traditional on-premise enterprise databases.
Information-as-a-Service: the ability to consume any type of remotely hosted information—stock price information, address validation, credit reporting, for example—through a well-defined interface such as an API
You can leverage a wide variety of Web APIs these days, including APIs for social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, for business statistics, for stock quotes, and the list goes on.
Process-as-a-Service: a remote resource that can bind many resources together, either hosted within the same cloud computing resource or remotely, to create business processes .
Processes are meta-applications that bind many services and information together to form a business solution.
Eg. Process “Ship Product”
1. Transmit order to warehouse.
2. Process shipping provider.
3. Price shipping.
4. Turn over to shipping provider.
5. Track shipment.
6. Report to customer.
Application-as-a-Service:They typically offer:
A user interface.
Predefined application behaviour.
Predefined data.
Support for any number of client platforms, since they run through the browser.
Eg. Salesforce SFA, office automation applications are indeed applications-as-a-service as well, including Google Docs, Gmail, and Google Calendar. Advantages:
The ability to leverage an enterprise-class application without having to buy and install enterprise software.
Platform-as-a-Service:
VIRTUALIZATION: Basics of Virtualization, Types of Virtualizations, Implementation Levels of Virtualization, Virtualization Structures, Tools and Mechanisms, Virtualization of CPU, Memory, I/O Devices, Virtual Clusters and Resource management, Virtualization for Data-center Automation, Introduction to MapReduce, GFS, HDFS, Hadoop, Framework.)
