Cloud Computing: Models, Benefits, and Integration for Smiths Security

This presentation discusses the concept of cloud computing and its different models, including Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), and Software as a service (SaaS). It also highlights the reasons to switch to cloud computing, such as cost-effectiveness, security, and mobility. The presentation further explores how IaaS can be used to migrate Active Directory and SQL server to the cloud, how PaaS is suitable for migrating IIS web server, and how SaaS can be used to integrate print server in the cloud. The presentation is relevant to Smiths Security and provides insights on how cloud computing can help reduce costs, improve security, and enhance mobility.

CLOUD COMPUTING
Smiths Security

MAIN CONCEPT
 Cloud computing refers to delivery of various
computing services such as storage, servers,
networking, database and many more
(Rittinghouse & Ransome, 2016).
 It is known as cloud computing as the
information is found in “cloud”.
 Information is saved in a remote database.
 These services are provided by cloud providers.

REASONS TO SWITCH
 Cost effective.
 Security
 Mobility

 Loss prevention
 Software updates
 Sustainability

MODELS OF CLOUD COMPUTING
 Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)
 Platform as a service (PaaS)
 Software as a service (SaaS)

IAAS
 IaaS suppliers provide a virtual server as well as
storage (Kavis, 2014).
 IaaS can be used to migrate Active directory into
cloud.
 With the connectivity of IaaS, a Virtual machine can
be created in the environment (Caballer, Blanquer &
Moltó, 2015).
 IaaS would also be helpful in migrating SQL server to
cloud.

PAAS
 PaaS is suitable for migrating IIS web server
into cloud (Varadharajan & Tupakula, 2017).
 PaaS provides better security to the web
server.
 It would help the organization to reduce cost.

SAAS
 SaaS solution is most helpful for
integrating print server in cloud.
 Cloud printing provides better
administration and oversight (Coutinho,
de Carvalho Sousa & Rego et al., 2015).
 It is much more affordable.
