Defining the Cloud Computing Model Cloud computing is a model for enabling on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Characteristics Service Types Deployment Models Service-based; consumer concerns are abstracted via service interfaces Metered by use; services tracked by usage metrics that enable multiple payment models Scalable and elastic; services flex on demand to add or remove resources as needed Shared; services dynamically allocated from a pool to gain economies of scale Broad Network Access; using Standard Internet Protocols and universal methods Software as a Service Finished applications that you rent and customize Likely procured by BU, IT Executives Platform as a Service Developer platform that abstracts the infrastructure, OS, and middleware for developer productivity Likely procured by Development Infrastructure as a Service Deployment platform that abstracts the infrastructure Likely procured by IT Enterprise Enterprise Enterprise 1 Enterprise PUBLIC PRIVATE Private Cloud COMMUNITY Enterprise 3 Enterprise 2 Community Cloud HYBRID Private Cloud Public Cloud Public Cloud
