Cloud Computing: Concepts, Benefits, and Infrastructure Analysis

This report delves into the core concepts of cloud computing, defining it as the use of a network system for data fetching, storage, and modulation. It highlights the benefits of cloud computing, such as affordable application testing, flexible application design, and enhanced security, particularly for regional garden development. The report explores different cloud infrastructure models: IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, explaining their functionalities and suitability for application development. The PaaS model is recommended for regional gardens due to its affordability, ease of use, and straightforward implementation. The report references several studies to support its claims, providing a comprehensive overview of cloud computing's potential and practical applications.

CLOUD COMPUTING

Concept Of Cloud Computing
“The procedure of using network
system for fetching , storing and
modulating data for local server
distribution is known as cloud
computing” (Abdullahi & Ngadi, 2016)

Concept Of Cloud Computing
 Cloud provides the environment to test
the application developed for the
enterprise uses.
 It helps to determine the vitality and
effectiveness of the application before
it is launched for public use.
 Cloud provides affordable means to
test the application

Concept Of Cloud Computing
The cloud application is designed with
the
programs supported by the cloud
platform. In addition to the tools provided
by the platform, existing tools locally
available can also be integrated for
application development (Avram , 2014).

Concept Of Cloud Computing
cloud platform provides tools
to design transactional
applications
These applications are highly
flexible and scalable in
nature.

Concept of cloud computing
Cloud computing provides
security for newly developed
applications as well as
applications integrated with
the cloud platform (Laskowski,
2014)

Benefits Of Cloud Computing
For Regional Garden
 Development of Cloud supported application.
 Large amount of storage availability for
applications used by regional garden
 Less investment for infrastructure
 Secure computing provided to regional garden
 Data access by the organization from
anywhere
 cloud for developing and testing (Mastelic et
al. , 2015).

Some Cloud Computing Infrastructure
Beneficial For Regional Garden
 IaaS infrastructure
 PaaS infrastructure
 SaaS infrastructure

IaaS Infrastructure
The model provides Regional Garden the
infrastructure for application
development
All other resources necessary for the
application development and
maintenance have to be arranged by the
client (Almorsy ,Grundy & Muller, 2016).

PaaS Infrastructure
PaaS provides Regional Garden the
platform for application development .
It provides the complete package for
cloud based application development
It is a cost effective cloud platform
model.(Iosup,Prodan & Epema, 2014).

SaaS Infrastructure
 The vendor is responsible to provide the
software as per the subscription
 there is no need for the user of Regional
Garden to deal with managing, installing
and upgrading the software.
 It will provide the organization secure
data storage in the cloud.
 resources are scalable as per the need
of the service (Elazhary 2014)

Appropriate model for the Regional Garden
The PaaS cloud model will be
ideal for the Regional Garden .
Compared to the other two cloud model
the PaaS model is more affordable, easy to
use and simple to implement.
