As a result, Cloudtechnology is a better way of eliminating problems which can be faced by companies whilestoring information and data. Henceforth, the process is rapidly elastic as it assists company inbalancing resources that are available in Information Technology. Basically, the concept ofCloud Technology is entirely depends upon components which are further classified into threecategories that are as follows:Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS): This provides company with a processingenvironment like servers, firewalls etc., moreover, IaaS can be implemented in firms throughvarious kind of technologies such as grid or cluster. Platform-as-a-service (PaaS): Through this organist enable themselves in developingand running their applications in a better manner. In addition to this, authorization, authenticationand session management is an integral part of this service. 3
Software-as-a-service (SaaS): It is determined as more advanced and complex cloudbecause with the help of this, company can resolve their problems which are related to businessintelligence, e-mail, conferences etc., Therefore, the concept of Cloud Technology is wide and understanding the same is quitedifficult. Biggest advantage of this model is that it assists company in storing importantinformation in limited cost and increasing end-user productivity and collaboration. Henceforth,LSI Architects (Design) Ltd., after implementing Cloud Technology can improve its reliabilityand continuity. Moreover, company can opt this technology from different Cloud Providers likeGoogle Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure etc., Importance of cloud technology in business organizationFrom the Laudon and Laudon, (2016), point of viewCloud Technology has evolved as anew concept which is delivering computing resources and services to its clients.
