Types of cloud computing

 




When it comes to purchasing cloud resources, there are many kinds of cloud service models  to choose from. Choosing the right level of service will allow you to optimize your budget and resources.


Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)


Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides access to servers, networks, and storage. While this option allows you to opt out of owning and maintaining your own hardware, your IT team must still manage operating systems, databases, and applications. IaaS provides the greatest control and flexibility of all service models, and the ability to easily scale up and down as needed.


Platform as a service (PaaS)


Platform as a service (PaaS) provides the same hardware resources as IaaS, plus the operating system and databases. PaaS enables companies to develop, run, and manage applications without the need to build, maintain and maintain an infrastructure. It can also streamline workflows by giving multiple users simultaneous access to your development environment.


Function as a Service (FaaS)


With the function-as-a-service (FaaS) model, users only manage functions and data while the cloud provider manages the application. This allows developers to use the features they need without having to pay for services when the code is not running.


Software as a Service (SaaS)


Most companies use different software-as-a-service products in their daily operations. These are on-demand applications such as CRM software and email. With a SaaS solution, users don't have to manage anything other than data. Licenses are purchased on a subscription basis and services are provided immediately.


Security of cloud computing


Protecting your company's data and applications is critical to maintaining your competitive advantage, reputation and ability to conduct your day-to-day operations. The backbone of a safer cloud is hardware technologies such as those available on Intel® Xeon® platforms. Open source software tools  help make the best possible use of Intel® platform security technologies to protect your data in the cloud.


Cloud processors and load optimization


A reliable, high-performance cloud starts with a CPU-to-server base that can meet the needs of highly demanding applications including analytics and AI. Intel® processors and accelerators enable you to achieve cloud workload optimization for virtually any application.


Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor


Intel® Xeon® scalable processors  deliver fast and reliable cloud computing with consistent, predictable performance in public or on-premises cloud. Continuous innovation from Intel provides new integrated cloud features such as Intel® Deep Learning Boost  (Intel® DL Boost)  to increase the performance of AI workloads and reduce the need for custom accelerators such as graphics cards.




Intel® FPGAs


 Intel® FPGAs work in tandem with processors to provide custom acceleration with outstanding performance per watt. As these multifunctional FPGAs are reconfigurable, they can be used multiple times.


Building a smarter cloud


Intel is partnering with cloud providers and the developer community to ensure that you get the most from Intel® technology, whether you use on-premises infrastructure or public cloud services. As a result, you get high performance, reliability and longer uptime, no matter how the cloud is used.

The Advantages of Cloud Computing to Both Individual Consumers and Large Businesses

  Today there is much discussion about cloud computing. Some folks are for it, some against it, and many have no idea what the discussion is all about. What is cloud computing and why should you care? Cloud computing basically refers to the use of external networks. For years when diagrams have been drawn, cloud-like shapes have been used to designate external networks. Someone, somewhere, starting using the term cloud, and it stuck. An external network, or cloud, is merely data that is provided and/or saved on external servers that belong to someone else. Many of us have been using cloud services for some time without really realizing it. Take your email service, for example. Do you use a major email service such as Yahoo! or Gmail? If you do, whenever you log into your email account you are really logging onto an external server upon which your emails are stored. When you save an email, it is not being saved on your computer, but on an external server, or cloud. Another example o...

How to increase the security of data in the cloud?

Image
  The benefits of using agile (lean) IT solutions provided as services cause that more and more enterprises decide to store in the cloud , transferring to it not only data, but also various areas of operational activity. While the convenience and benefits are undisputed here, it is worth considering how data security in the cloud is organized. How to take care of them so as not to expose yourself to various types of risk?   From a technical point of view, there are no obstacles to store and process company data in the cloud. However, if we decide to take such a step, we should also consider whether the data stored on servers outside the company is safe.   Data security in the cloud - what to pay attention to? It is worth looking at the security of data in the cloud in several contexts, none of which should be underestimated. Each of them carries specific types of risk for enterprises.   Supplier The first concerns cloud service providers, their cre...

Private Cloud Computing: A Game Changer for Disaster Recovery

  Private cloud computing offers a number of significant advantages — including lower costs, faster server deployments, and higher levels of resiliency. What is often over looked is how the Private Cloud can dramatically changes the game for IT disaster recovery in terms of significantly lower costs, faster recovery times, and enhanced testability. Before we talk about the private cloud, let’s explore the challenges of IT disaster recovery for traditional server systems. Most legacy IT systems are comprised of a heterogeneous set of hardware platforms — added to the system over time — with different processors, memory, drives, BIOS, and I/O systems. In a production environment, these heterogeneous systems work as designed, and the applications are loaded onto the servers and maintained and patched over time. Offsite backups of these heterogeneous systems can be performed and safely stored at an offsite location. There are really 2 options for backing up and restoring the systems: 1...
