Types of Cloud Computing


 

As you will see in this video, there are different types of cloud computing services. It is important to be able to recognize the different types.

Well, there are 3 types of cloud computing: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The first type is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which provides building blocks for cloud IT and networking, computers, and data storage space.

This type has the highest level of flexibility. Platform as a Service (Paas), removes the need for your organization to manage the underlying infrastructure. Software as a Service (Saas), is a product that is going to be run and managed by the service provider. With IaaS, companies control their own computing, networking, and storing components without having to manage them on-premises physically. PaaS, provides developers with a framework to build custom applications, while SaaS avails internet-enabled software to organizations via a third party. The disadvantage of IaaS is that because IaaS has a multi-tenant architecture, there are data security issues associated with it. If there are vendor outages in IaaS solutions, users might be unable to access their data for some time.
