4 Cloud Computing and Software as a Service (SaaS)

5 Defining Cloud Computing U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Slide 5

6 Essential Characteristics On Demand Self-Service User can provision and acquire computing capabilities, server time, network storage as needed without much or any human interaction Broad Network Access Computing capabilities are available via network, via heterogeneous thick or thin clients Resource Pooling The computing resources of the service provider are pooled to serve multiple customers in a multi-tenant model. Can include resources like storage, processing, memory, network bandwidth or virtual machine configurations. Rapid Elasticity Quick scale out and rapid release provisioned seamlessly and unlimited quantities Measured Service Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service. Slide 6

7 Cloud Service Models Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) The capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider s applications running on a cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface such as a web browser (e.g., web-based ). The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration settings. Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) The capability provided to the consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created or acquired applications created using programming languages and tools supported by the provider. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has control over the deployed applications and possibly application hosting environment configurations. Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) The capability provided to the consumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, deployed applications, and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).
