This service Mjorts various Operating systems, databases, tools, programming © supPe ges, and frameworks, yang fosys Cobalt also provides cloud managed services. In! res of Cloud Computing Fig 7.7 feat tures of Cloud computing are specified below: tows easy expansion: The user can demand more storage as and when required. maintenance: The servers are easily maintained and are compatible with the devices with timely updates. gy Accessibility: The user can access the cloud data or upload the data to the cloud from Easy ‘ere as he needs only a device and a good internet connection. Zonomical: It is easier and cheaper to purchase storage for storing the data on cloud. The Bconvenance cost is also not expensive > pay for what you use: In cloud computing, the user has to pay only for the service, or the : Bae used, as there is no hidden cost Gecurity: One of the important features of cloud computing is Security. Cloud service fi rovider companies offers many advanced features related to security and ensures that data is securely stored and handled. Once the data is stored in the cloud, it is easier to get pack-up and restore that data using the cloud even if any issue occurs with a server. Data Back-up and Improved security restore data collaboration ae 3 Unlimited storage capacity Advantages of Excellent cloud computing accessibility — low maintenance cost Services in is pay-per-use [ Mobility | Thus, Cloud Computing has lots of advantages which help the user as well as the provider. Ithelps the user with easy and quick upload and download of data and provides more data security. TYPES OF CLOUD COMPUTING There are three types of cloud computing, which are: * Public clouds: This is a cloud computing service which is provided by a third party, like Amazon, Google, etc., to the public on a pay-per-use basis. The people pay based on the Services used but some of the cloud providers offer free service too. A good example for the same is Massachusetts Open Cloud. The public cloud allows users to share resources while maintaining the privacy of each user’s data. 113 eeAdministrator Fig. 7.8 Public clouds Private clouds: As the name suggests, this service is dedicated either to a single @ company. In this type of cloud computing the services and infrastructure are "erg on a Private network.

There are three types of models to caegorize different cloud computing services. These models are: | SaaS 1 PaaS 3 aS SaaS, Seine for software as a service. This service just needs the Internet to get delivered. Most meappliations under this service run through the web browser. The user does not need to vom ae specific software to use and run them. In most cases, SaaS users pay a monthly Foie scription fee to use the services. The common examples are Dropbox, Microsoft nipanies pend jorespae WebEx etc. This service is best suitable for startups or small srlive busin imite infrastructure. One of the limitations is data security.
