Software Virtualization

Managing applications and distribution becomes a typical task for IT departments. Installation mechanism differs from application to application. Some programs require certain helper applications or frameworks and these applications may have conflict with existing applications. Software virtualization is just like a virtualization but able to abstract the software installation procedure and create virtual software installations. Virtualized software is… Continue reading Software Virtualization

Hardware Virtualization

Previously, there was “one to one relationship” between physical servers and operating system. Low capacity of CPU, memory, and networking requirements were available. So, by using this model, the costs of doing business increased. The physical space, amount of power, and hardware required meant that costs were adding up. The hypervisor manages shared the physical resources of the hardware… Continue reading Hardware Virtualization

Data Virtualization

Data virtualization is the process of retrieve data from various resources without knowing its type and physical location where it is stored. It collects heterogeneous data from different resources and allows data users across the organization to access this data according to their work requirements. This heterogeneous data can be accessed using any application such… Continue reading Data Virtualization

Virtualization in Cloud Computing

Virtualization is the “creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a server, a desktop, a storage device, an operating system or network resources”. In other words, Virtualization is a technique, which allows to share a single physical instance of a resource or an application among multiple customers and organizations. It does… Continue reading Virtualization in Cloud Computing

Platform as a Service | PaaS

Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a runtime environment. It allows programmers to easily create, test, run, and deploy web applications. You can purchase these applications from a cloud service provider on a pay-as-per use basis and access them using the Internet connection. In PaaS, back end scalability is managed by the cloud service provider,… Continue reading Platform as a Service | PaaS

Infrastructure as a Service | IaaS

Iaas is also known as Hardware as a Service (HaaS). It is one of the layers of the cloud computing platform. It allows customers to outsource their IT infrastructures such as servers, networking, processing, storage, virtual machines, and other resources. Customers access these resources on the Internet using a pay-as-per use model. In traditional hosting services,… Continue reading Infrastructure as a Service | IaaS

Cloud Service Models

There are the following three types of cloud service models – Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) IaaS is also known as Hardware as a Service (HaaS). It is a computing infrastructure managed over the internet. The main advantage of using IaaS… Continue reading Cloud Service Models

Community Cloud

Community cloud is a cloud infrastructure that allows systems and services to be accessible by a group of several organizations to share the information. It is owned, managed, and operated by one or more organizations in the community, a third party, or a combination of them. Example: Our government organization within India may share computing infrastructure… Continue reading Community Cloud

Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid cloud is a combination of public and private clouds.Hybrid cloud = public cloud + private cloud The main aim to combine these cloud (Public and Private) is to create a unified, automated, and well-managed computing environment. In the Hybrid cloud, non-critical activities are performed by the public cloud and critical activities are performed by the private cloud. Mainly, a hybrid cloud is used… Continue reading Hybrid Cloud
