The cloud covers a full city. It bellows and then it brings rain and makes everything green. Similarly, cloud services have brought us rain and we are lucky that everything we write can be saved. It covers a wide range of services to give us multiple benefits. It is useful for individuals and organizations.

These days everybody likes pictures. We click pictures and load our phones with them and make videos and we share them with our friends. We want to keep our memories. The cloud covers it all. Put them in the cloud app. They are safe. Even though you delete pictures from your phone they will continue to stay there.

You can keep your important papers locked in a Digi locker. This is a web-based locker where your papers like your degree certificates, house property papers, etc can be kept safe. This is the power of a cloud.

A wonderful quotation on how to define Cloud computing is

“If someone asks me what cloud computing is, I try not to get bogged down with definitions. I tell them that, simply put, cloud computing is a better way to run your business.” by Mark Benioff, CEO of Salesforce

What is this ‘Cloud’ that we talk about? Besides providing multiple services, it develops solutions to our problems to helps us in our daily lives. You can have public, private, or hybrid cloud-hosted services.

Public Cloud hosted Services The public cloud services are service providers like Google, Amazon, or GoGrid that give an opportunity to individuals and organizations to pay only for computing the resources that they will actually use. Most of it is free with a mine of information,

Private Cloud hosted Services The private hosted services are those that are hosted by end-users themselves for their own internal requirements. It allows users to access business data over the internet.

Hybrid Cloud-hosted Services This is a combination of hosting services whereby public serves are used for accessing data and internal services have control over them.

There are three types of cloud services. These are SaaS, Paas, Laas.

*Software as a Service (SaaS)

*Platform as a Service (PaaS)

*Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

SAAS provides a variety of services, such as file storage with the facility of backup, web-based email, and project management tools. It also has certain other advantages like the use of Dropbox, G Suite, Microsoft Office 365, Slack, and Citrix Content Collaboration.

In each of these applications, users can access, share, store and secure information in the cloud.

With SAAS you can watch cricket matches, Olympics, and OTT programs through Netflix, Amazon Prime

SAAS is a type of cloud computing offering in which a service provider delivers a platform to clients, enabling them to develop, run, and manage business applications without the need to build and maintain the infrastructure such software development processes typically require.

PaaS provides a web-based environment where developers can build cloud apps. PaaS provides a database, operating system, and programming language that organizations can use to develop cloud-based software, without having to maintain the underlying elements.

Many IaaS vendors, also offer PaaS services. It is a location data delivery that protects the privacy of people. It provides the physical location data that it is able to acquire through synergy from multiple sources like carriers, Wi-Fi, IP addresses, and landlines.

Cloud hosting is the latest type of hosting technique in organizations. It uses a cluster or group of servers to form a ‘cloud. It works with the group in synergy by using its resources to empower the website. It is a digital transformation bringing companies and individuals together.

To sum up, there are many benefits of Cloud computing.

Cloud supports upgrading, installing and integrating, the latest technology that keeps on changing each day without having to buy the software each time it is upgraded or changed into something new. It creates synergy between goods, services and people. It is a digital revolution.
