 WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
The term cloud refers to a network or the internet. It is a technology that uses remote servers
on the internet to store, manage, and access data online rather than local drives. The data can
be anything such as files, images, documents, audio, video, and more.

Operations using cloud computing

• Developing new applications and services
• Storage, back up, and recovery of data
• Hosting blogs and websites
• Delivery of software on demand
• Analysis of data
• Streaming videos and audios

 WHY CLOUD COMPUTING?
• Small as well as large IT companies follow traditional
methods to provide the IT infrastructure.
• For any IT company, we need a Server Room (database
server, mail server, networking, firewalls, routers,
modem, switches, QPS, configurable system, high net
speed, and maintenance engineers) that is the basic need
of IT companies.
• To establish such IT infrastructure, we need to spend
lots of money. To overcome all these problems and to
reduce the IT infrastructure cost, Cloud Computing
comes into existence.

 CHARACTERISTICS
1) Agility
The cloud works in a distributed computing environment. It shares
resources among users and works very fast. 5) Maintenance
Easier Maintenance, since they do not need to be installed on each
2) High availability and reliability user's computer and can be accessed from different places. So, it
The availability of servers is high and more reliable because the reduces the cost also.
chances of infrastructure failure are minimum.

3) Multi-Sharing 6) Low Cost

With the help of cloud computing, multiple users and applications Cost will be reduced because to take the services of cloud
can work more efficiently with cost reductions by sharing common computing, IT company need not to set its own infrastructure and
infrastructure. pay-as-per usage of resources.

4) Device and Location Independence

7) Services in the pay-per-use mode
It enables the users to access systems using a web browser
regardless of their location or what device they use e.g. PC, mobile Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are provided to the users
phone, etc. As infrastructure is off-site (typically provided by a so that they can access services on the cloud by using these APIs and
third-party) and accessed via the Internet, users can connect from pay the charges as per the usage of services.
anywhere.

 CLOUD AS IT INFRASTRUCTURE
• The collection of hardware and software
elements needed to enable cloud computing
• Main physical components are cloud
hardware, virtualization, storage, and
networking components
• Each components are integrated with one
another into a single architecture which
supports business operations

5
COMPONENTS OF CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

• Hardware: Includes networking equipment, like switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers,
storage arrays, backup devices, and servers
• Virtualization: Technology that separates IT services and functions from hardware. With this,
multiple Operating systems & applications can run on same machine and same hardware at
same time, hence increased utilization & flexibility of hardware.
• Data Storage: Storage management ensures that data is properly backed up, that obsolete
backups are periodically erased, and that data is indexed for retrieval in the event that any
storage component fails.
• Network: It's composed of physical wires, switches, routers, and other equipment. Virtual
networks are created on top of these physical resources.

 DEPLOYMENT MODELS
• This model when they need to scale up
their IT infrastructure rapidly, leveraging
public clouds to supplement the capacity
available within a private cloud

• private cloud is typically infrastructure

used by a single organization. supports all users who want to make use of a
• Such infrastructure may be managed by computing resource, such as hardware (OS,
the organization itself to support various CPU, memory, storage) or software

BENEFITS OF ORGANIZATIONS ADOPTING CLOUD
COMPUTING
• Cost Savings- It results in lower cost and higher returns, pay as you go
• Security- It carefully monitors securities, which makes it easier for government compliance
• Flexibility - If you need Extra bandwidth, it undergoes the process easily rather than a complex update to IT
Infrastructure
• Mobility- Allows Mobile access to corporate data via smartphones and devices
• Increased Collaboration -Team members can share information easily and securely
• Quality Control - Documents stored in one place and in a single place so everyone can access the information
• Disaster Recovery -Quick data recovery for all kinds of emergency scenarios, from natural disasters to power
outage
• Automatic Software Updates -Automatic updates in applications
• Competitive Edge - Provides competitive advantage from competitors
• Sustainability - Cutting down on paper waste .improving energy efficiency

POTENTIAL RISKS FOR ORGANISATIONS ADOPTING CLOUD
COMPUTING

• Consumers Have Reduced Visibility and Control

• On-Demand Self Service Simplifies Unauthorized Use
• Internet-Accessible Management APIs can be Compromised
• Separation Among Multiple Tenants Fails
• Data Deletion is Incomplete
• Credentials are Stolen
• Vendor Lock-In Complicates Moving to Other CSPs
• Increased Complexity Strains IT Staff
• Insiders Abuse Authorized Access
• Stored Data is Lost
• CSP Supply Chain is Compromised
• Insufficient Due Diligence Increases Cybersecurity Risk

11
 DISADVANTAGES OF CLOUD
1. High dependency on the internet: Due to internet outage or weak connectivity, services get interrupted.

2. Security and Privacy: Due to inadequate cloud security - Data leakage hence IP theft issues, contract breaches & malware attacks.
According to a survey, nearly 98% of companies using cloud computing services experienced at least one data breach from 2020 to 2022.

3. Vulnerability to Attacks: Private clouds are the most secure but cost is on much higher side, hence businesses prefer public, hybrid &
multi-cloud computing services. Multiple users, businesses vulnerable to cyber attacks

4. Limited Control and Flexibility: In public, hybrid, and community clouds, all cloud computing services are completely managed by
cloud service providers. This offers limited control and flexibility to customers, restricting their access to various services and applications.

5. Vendor Lock-in: Due to high switching costs, large amounts of data which is difficult to migrate, and several other complexities,
companies using cloud computing services of a particular vendor are unable to switch to a different vendor. Then companies are forced to
receive services from a particular vendor.

6. Cost Concerns: Though it helps small businesses avail quality services without investing large amounts to set up IT infrastructure, it can
also increase expenditure for companies as there are several hidden costs involved which emerge at a later stage. These include data
transfer, cloud utilization, and data migration costs.
