Cloud computing is internet-based computing where servers, storage, and applications are delivered through the internet. Users access centralized resources in a data center via a company network or the internet. Cloud computing provides software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) through public, private, or hybrid cloud models. Cloud management software operates and monitors applications, data, and services in the cloud, providing benefits like cost reduction, disaster recovery, and compliance management.

2. Cloud Computing

Internet-based computing,where different
services(servers, storage and applications) are
delivered to an organization's computers and
devices through the Internet.

3. How Cloud Computing Works ??

Clouds use a network layer to connect
users’ end point devices, like computers or
smart phones, to resources that are
centralised in a data centre.

Users access the data centre via a
company network or the internet or both.
Clouds can also be accessed from any
location, allowing mobile workers to access
their business systems on demand.

5. Cloud Management

Management of cloud computing products
and services.

Software and technologies designed for
operating and monitoring applications, data
and services residing in the cloud.

7. Cloud Computing Services

Software as a Service(SaaS)

Platform as a service(PaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)

8. Cloud Computing Deployment
Models

Public (Services provided to general
public)

Private (for single organization or any third
party,maintenace cost is high)

Hybrid (mix of public and private cloud
services,gives businesses greater flexibility
and more data depolyment options)

10. IBM – Cloud Transformation

Bluemix is a cloud platform as a service
(PaaS) developed by IBM for building,
running, and managing apps and services.

SoftLayer, an IBM Company, provides
cloud infrastructure as a service from a
growing number of data centers and
network points of presence around the
world

11. Case Study
Need:

A company wanted to help diabetes
patients more easily by sharing accurate,
up-to-date medical information with
physicians .

12. Solution
Working with IBM,the company created a
mobile app, supported by IBM Bluemix and
SoftLayer technologies, that captures
and aggregates data directly from other
medical devices and health tools.

13. Benefit

The virtualized IBM architecture cuts
ongoing operational costs by 30 percent
with a flexible platform, while physicians
and diabetics have clearer insight into
patient health, encouraging better
care options.
