1. Cloud Computing Architecture Presentation for Regional Gardens
Slide 1:

2CLOUD COMPUTING
Slide 2:
Description:
The cloud computing is a service that provides organizations with different types of
services that includes Software development, storage, software, servers with the help of
internet.

3CLOUD COMPUTING
Slide 3:
Description:
The cloud computing has many advantages that are provided by many cloud vendors. The
advantages includes :
1. Application of back-end that are completely used by the vendor of cloud.
2. Only the part of service that is used by the user is paid. The user uses time, bandwidth,
memory and processing that the provider provides.
3. The services that are provided are generally scalable.

Slide 5:
Description:
A cloud computing form, which provides computing resource in a virtualized form through the
internet is the IaaS. Infrastructure-as-a-service is a model of cloud computing that has the
organization to access the outsource equipment of computing and also access the resources
including the network, storage, content delivery, load balancing and server.

6CLOUD COMPUTING
Slide 6:
Description:
Advantages
1) The customers have full access on their virtual machines and the contents in the VMs.
2) The integration procedure is also done by the model of IaaS (Oliveira, Thomas & Espadanal,
2014).
3) Since, the control of VM is greater, the cloud is almost secured.
Disadvantages
1) The backups are the responsibility of customer. If the users fails, it creates problem to the
user itself (Rahimi et al., 2014).

7CLOUD COMPUTING
2) The customers do not have any access to the server and VM location.
Slide 7:
Description:
PaaS is generally an platform of application or a platform that is a service based in cloud
computing (Ali, Khan & Vasilakos, 2015). This provides a service that allows the users to
develop, manage, and run the applications not considering the complexity of maintaining and
building infrastructure that are related with launching and developing an application in an
organization.

8CLOUD COMPUTING
Slide 8:
Description:
Advantages
1) The integration process is being improved in SaaS model.
2) The model of PaaS cannot manage the virtual machine
Disadvantages
1) First disadvantage is that the customers do not have any control on the VM and user cannot
process the data.
2) The platform is not controlled by the user but sometimes it does depending on the Cloud
Provider.

9CLOUD COMPUTING
3) The task management system of PaaS is very much time consuming.
Slide 9:
Description:
Software-as-a-Service is a model, which give the delivery of application on user demand,
manages, hosts the cloud service provider, and pay the provider on basis of usage.

10CLOUD COMPUTING
Slide 10:
Description:
Advantages
1) The integration of the system is done in an improved way in this system.
2) The model of SaaS cannot manage the virtual machine.
Disadvantages
1) There is no control on system processing on data.
2) The customer can use many software and can be shared by many users at the same time.
Example of SaaS is Dropbox.

11CLOUD COMPUTING
3) There is no control over parameter of the software (Krishnan, Bhagwat & Utpat, 2015).
4) The user cannot control the upgradation and testing method.
5) There are only some limited solutions provided by SaaS.
6) The model does not allow integration or does not support any other software.
7) If cryptography is not used by the customers, the provider can access the data of customers.
