Digital transformation has brought about the concept of shared computing resources owned and managed by third parties over the internet. Consisting of storage, hardware, databases, networks, interfaces, and services, the cloud allows users (organisations, entities, and individuals) to access IT infrastructure, services, and computing power on demand. Cloud computing encompasses the collation, transfer, storage, and processing of data and information on a third party architecture.
To augment the security of cloud services, the data and information are encrypted by the service provider using a public key. The same is decrypted by the organisation availing the services by using the corresponding private key. By being the new normal, cloud, as offered by cloud computing Mandurah service and others, helps to accelerate business transformation, capability, performance, innovation, and customer experience. Organisations, in order to meet the challenges posed by industry 4.0, can migrate their legacy systems and resources to the cloud with minimum disruption.
Types of cloud systems
There are basically three types of cloud systems depending on the nature of requirements.
Software as a Service (SaaS): In this software distribution model, the service provider delivers a single application by using a multi-tenant architecture. Here, the source code of an application is the same for everyone and when some features or functionalities are added, they are rolled out for everyone.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): This is the basic layer in cloud computing that is provisioned and administered over the internet. It allows you to scale up and down the need for physical infrastructure based on demand. Here, each physical resource comprising servers and data centres can be installed, configured, and managed.
Platform as a Service (PaaS): In this form of cloud computing, the development and deployment environment consisting of servers, storage, middleware, networking, database management systems, business intelligence suites, and development tools, among others are provisioned to support the SDLC. The activities consist of building, testing, delivering, administering, and updating of the above-mentioned resources.
