2 SCADA Traditional definition and application.

3 SCADA DEFINITION Definition Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are used to monitor and control field devices geographically dispersed over a large area. Devices include Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs), Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), used to gather and manipulate field equipment such as switches and pumps. Information gathered can be used in analytics to find trends, anticipate maintenance, and provide operational insight.

13 CLOUDS Defining the terms and fundamental ideas.

14 CLOUD COMPUTING DEFINITION NIST Definition Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, ondemand 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. (SP )

15 CLOUD COMPUTING TYPES IaaS Infrastructure as a Service PaaS Platform as a Service SaaS Software as a Service

16 CLOUD COMPUTING MODELS 01. PUBLIC Open use, general public access, offsite, owned by a provider. 02. PRIVATE Closed use, exclusive access, local or offsite. PUBLIC HYBRID PRIVATE 03. HYBRID Combination of system models.
