Cloud security SaaS, PAAS, IAAS,
Cloud security refers to the computer, network and information security of cloud computing providers and users and encompasses technologies like data protection, infrastructure and governance issues. Security concerns surrounding cloud computing are generally considered to surround security and privacy (of the information stored), compliance (with legislation and user company policy) and legal or contractual issues. In particular, concerns have been raised about security provision within multi-tenanted public cloud offerings.
Platform as a Service
PaaS
Platform as a Service refers to the provision of a computing platform and the provision and deployment of the associated set of software applications (called a solution stack) to an enterprise by a cloud provider. PaaS makes deployment of applications possible across your entire network while negating the need for you to buy or maintain hardware or software, basically because it is all owned and maintained by the cloud provider. The provider can customise, integrate or develop from scratch, applications needed by the enterprise, which the client can then access via the internet.
Infrastructure as a Service IaaS
Infrastructure as a Service
Instead of purchasing servers, software, network equipment or data centre storage space, cloud providers can supply IaaS to clients as a fully out-sourced service and be subsequently billed only according to what they have used. This means the cloud provider owns and maintains the housing, running and maintaining of all the equipment, not the end-user. This also gives the end-user the flexibility to use more or less storage, as required, (called scalability), which is attractive to businesses which might otherwise have needed to have maintained large amounts of storage space even at off-peak times
Software-as-a-Service SaaS
Software-as-a-Service is software which is deployed over the internet and used by someone on a personal computer or local area network. Customers can often use software “pay-as-you-go” by using the cloud provider’s licences, rather than buying licences themselves – which is why Software-as-a-Service is sometimes called “software on demand”. As well as removing the need to buy, install and manage software at the user’s end, it also has the advantage of the software being accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
