Introduction
Bruce requires the web system to notify his players about training sessions. Currently he informs
all the players manually by sending SMS but it is very difficult to inform all the students in this
way and most of the time, some players didn’t receive the SMS or Bruce forget to send them. To
solve this issue Bruce wants to develop a web system on cloud which will decrease his workload.
Cloud is the latest technology and very efficient for the small business. It works best for
businesses that don’t have much staff and high experienced database developers. Businesses that
have not enough infrastructures also use cloud to get better database maintenance.
Implementation of Web Database on Cloud
The cloud is perfect for all data types like structured and unstructured both. There are two
models available in cloud- Traditional and Database as a Service (DBaaS).
In traditional database, the organizations maintain the database by own. Only the difference is
that the organizations access the database via virtual machines.
But in Database as a Service (DBaaS), the cloud service providers do most of the work according
to the provided plans. They take the fee for the services that they provided. Cloud service
providers provide different type of services like –
- Subscription service
- Managed hosting
In subscription service, cloud service providers maintain the database structure physically and
customers maintain the data and operations by themselves. It is right choice for organizations
that have good infrastructure and highly skilled database developers.
