PaaS Cloud Architecture for Regional Gardens: Benefits and Strategy

This presentation discusses the implementation of cloud computing within Regional Gardens, focusing on the definition of cloud computing and its advantages, particularly secure data storage, increased flexibility, and easy accessibility. It explores different cloud architectures, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), ultimately recommending PaaS due to the organization's existing data center. The presentation highlights the cost-effectiveness, scalability, flexibility, and easier disaster recovery offered by PaaS, emphasizing its suitability for deploying cloud applications within Regional Gardens. This document is available on Desklib, a platform offering a wide range of study tools and solved assignments for students.

CLOUD COMPUTING IN
REGIONAL GARDENS

PRESENTATION OUTLINE
• Definition of Cloud Computing
• Advantages of Cloud Computing
• Cloud Computing in Regional Gardens
• Different types of cloud Architecture
• Infrastructure as a Service
• Platform as a Service
• Software as a Service
• The Chosen Cloud Architecture: PaaS
• Advantages of PaaS

DEFINITION OF CLOUD COMPUTING
• Cloud computing is a process of data storage in
network of server hosted over internet
(Fernando, Loke & Rahayu, 2013)
• Regional Gardens id considering use of cloud
computing in integrating all their business
operations.

ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
• There are a number of advantages of using
cloud applications , these are as follows-
• Secure data storage and increased flexibility
• Easy accessibility of data
• Easy to manage

CLOUD COMPUTING IN REGIONAL
GARDENS
• The main advantages of using cloud computing
in Regional gardens are as follows-
• Easy data storage and back up recovery
• Secure access and cost effective solution
• Integration of all the existing workflow

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLOUD
ARCHITECTURE
• The different options of cloud architecture that
Regional Gardens can consider are as follows
(Dinh et al., 2013). -
• Infrastructure as a Service
• Platform as a Service
• Software as a Service

INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
• This is the most commonly used cloud
architecture as it offers the most secure cloud
service (Manvi & Shyam, 2014).
• It will help in automating all the processes
running within Regional Gardens

PLATFORM AS A SERVICE
• Platform as a Service provide a platform for
deployment and execution of cloud applications.
• It has certain security issues associated with the
use of PaaS
• It however, provides an user friendly service

SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
• It is a model cloud computing that works on a
subscription basis.
• It is the most cost effective cloud solution
• However, he customer has to no control over
the platform

THE CHOSEN CLOUD ARCHITECTURE: PAAS
• PaaS is chosen for Regional Gardens as it needs
a platform for deployment of cloud applications
• This is the chosen architecture since the
organization already has an existing data center
(Malfara, 2013).

ADVANTAGES OF PAAS
• It provides cost effective solution
• Offers scalability and flexibility
• Easier disaster recovery (Hashizume et al.,
2013)
• The deployment of cloud application in PaaS is
easy.
