Working Definitions of Cloud Computing points to improved business agility benefits Cloud computing is 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
A style of computing in which massively scalable IT-enabled capabilities are delivered “as a service� to multiple customers using Internet technologies
A standardized IT capability (services, software, or infrastructure) delivered via Internet technologies in a payper-use, self-service way
This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three delivery models, and four deployment models info@quontrasolutions.com 7

Cloud solutions need to meet some key characteristics On-demand selfservice Ubiquitous network access Location independent resource pooling Rapid elasticity
Shared infrastructure Advanced Virtualization Multi-tenancy Lower time to value
Measured service

Inability to meet these characteristics will reduce the benefits harnessed from cloud computing info@quontrasolutions.com

Cloud technology adoption can be categorized under three major delivery models Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Other Delivery Models – Database as a Service – Government as a Service – STorage as a Service – Information as a Service Identity as a Service be– considered “cloud”
– E-mail as a Service – ERP as a Service – TAX as a Service – DEsktop as a Service
To they must be deployed on top of cloud infrastructure that has the key characteristics 9

Cloud technology adoption falls under different deployment models Private cloud –enterprise owned or leased
Community cloud –shared infrastructure for specific community
Public cloud –Sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure
Hybrid cloud –composition of two or more clouds
Two types: internal and external 11
