Cloud Computing:
The Definition

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology definition of cloud
computing
|
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of
configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that
can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider
interaction. |
Cloud services tend to fit into the category of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) or
IaaS(Infrastructure-as-a-Service).
IaaS provides everything needed for server operation so that customers don't have to set-up their own server
operation, hardware and server connectivity. PaaS adds a further layer of integrating providing the traditional
server stack elements and installed code bases and databases as well as frequently layering on a codeless
development environment. And SaaS delivers a complete application to end users via the browser with the rest of the
cloud stack supporting it.
