Cloud Computing Defined 5

Cloud  compu.ng  is  a  model  for  enabling  convenient,  on-­‐demand  network  access  to  a  shared  pool  of  configurable  compu.ng  resources  (e.g.,  networks,  servers,  storage,  applica.ons,  and  services)  that  can  be  rapidly  provisioned  and  released  with  minimal  management  effort  or  service  provider  interac.on.  This  cloud  model  promotes  availability  and  is  composed  of  five  essen.al  characteris.cs  (On-­‐demand  self-­‐service,  Broad  network  access,  Resource  pooling,  Rapid  elas.city,  Measured  Service);  three  service  models  (Cloud  SoLware  as  a  Service  (SaaS),  Cloud  PlaNorm  as  a  Service  (PaaS),  Cloud  Infrastructure  as  a  Service  (IaaS));  and,  four  deployment  models  (Private  cloud,  Community  cloud,  Public  cloud,  Hybrid  cloud).  Key  enabling  technologies  include:  (1)  fast  wide-­‐area  networks,  (2)  powerful,  inexpensive  server  computers,  and  (3)  high-­‐performance  virtualiza.on  for  commodity  hardware.
