  1. Important The Main Cloud Technology’s TerminologyConsServices

  2. Table of Contents • Load Balancing, Middleware, On-premise • PaaS, Pay-as-you-go • Public Cloud, Personal Cloud, Private Cloud • SLA (Service Level Agreement), SaaS, Software Stack • User Interface, Virtual Machine, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure • Application Programming Interface • BaaS • Cloud Backup, Cloud Computing, Cloud Provider • Consumption-based, Data Migration • Elasticity, External Cloud • IaaS, Infrastructure, Internal Cloud

  3. Application Programming Interface • An Application Programming Interface (API) refers to a tool which enables users to have access to functionality or information from a certain given service and allows it be incorporated into the app of the user.

  4. BaaS • BaaS is the abbreviation for Backend-as-a-Service. It is meant for providing tools as well as services to mobile and web apps’ developers for the purpose of creating their cloud backend for the apps.

  5. Cloud Backup, Cloud Computing, Cloud Provider • Cloud Backup- Cloud backup refers to backing up data to a remote server that is cloud-based. This backed up data is stored in the cloud and can be accessed through an interconnected resources’ network. • Cloud Computing- Cloud computing involves IT services’ on-demand delivery through networked computing resources that are shared. The main cloud offerings are PaaS (Platform as a Service), SaaS (Software as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). • Cloud Provider- A cloud provider is a business that provides cloud computing services and usually charges a fee for it.

  7. Consumption-Based • Consumption-based- Consumption-based refers to a model of cloud computing pricing, wherein customers are charged based on the amount of service that is used by them, rather than for a specific duration of time. • Data Migration- Data migration involves transferring data among different servers, formats, storage systems, warehouses etc. To digress, the content of a website is stored as data on the server of a certain web hosting company. When this data is delivered over the Internet to the devices of users, then the website becomes accessible. The most popular and reliable web hosting companies are referred to as the “Best Website Hosting Company”, the “Best Windows Hosting Company”, the “Best Cloud Hosting Company” etc.

  8. Elasticity, External Cloud • Elasticity- Elasticity refers to the capability of a Cloud storage system with regard to it adapting to the changing workload demands of clients. • External Cloud- An external cloud refers to a cloud solution which exists outside a business’ physical boundaries. It can be private or public or community-based. In it, usually, fee is charged and it offers customization for meeting the requirements of clients.

  9. IaaS, Infrastructure, Internal Cloud • IaaS- IaaS is the abbreviation for Infrastructure as a Service. It is a virtual environment that is delivered by a cloud provider to its customers. It features servers, software, storage and network equipment. • Infrastructure- Infrastructure is used to refer to IT resources collectively, which include virtual components and hardware, that support an IT environment. • Internal Cloud- An internal cloud, also referred to as a private cloud, is essentially a certain type of cloud computing in which a secure and separate cloud-based environment is used exclusively for a specific client. It offers enhanced privacy and control.

  10. Load Balancing, Middleware, On-prem • Load Balancing- Load balancing is a term that is used to refer to workloads’ distribution over a series of resources, for the purpose of ensuring that there isn’t any single server that encounters a point of failure. • Middleware- Middleware refers to software that functions as a bridge for applications and components. • On-premise- On-premise includes either software technology or infrastructure which runs on the premises of the user, who is using such a technology.

  11. PaaS, Pay-as-you-go • PaaS- PaaS is the abbreviation for Platform as a Service. In it, the provider of the cloud services offers its users, through the Internet, the hardware and software that are required for building, deploying and managing applications. • Pay-as-you-go – In the context of cloud computing, pay-as-you-go is a method for payment in which a user is charged based on his/her usage.

  12. Public Cloud, Personal Cloud, Private Cloud • Public Cloud- A public cloud is hosted by a cloud service provider. Anyone with an active Internet connection can access it. • Personal Cloud- Digital content’s and services’ collection that can be accessed from any device is referred to as a personal cloud. It enables users to store, share, stream, and synchronize content. The main types of personal clouds are NAS (Network-attached Storage) device clouds, online clouds, home-made clouds and server device clouds. • Private Cloud- A private cloud is a cloud setup which is dedicated to the end user and can be located either on-premises or off-site.

  13. SLA (Service Level Agreement), SaaS, Software Stack • SLA (Service Level Agreement)- An SLA refers to an agreement that exists between a customer and his/her cloud service provider. It is meant to specify contractual terms that include level of service, availability, performance etc. • SaaS- SaaS is the abbreviation for Software as a Service. It is a model for software licensing and delivery. SaaS licenses software on the basis of subscription and the software is hosted centrally. • Software Stack- A software stack is a collection of applications that function together for attaining a certain result. The independent components of a software stack collaborate to support an application’s execution.

  14. User Interface, Virtual Machine, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure • User Interface- It is through a user interface that a user and a computer system interact. • Virtual Machine- A virtual machine, also referred to as a VM, is a software by which a computer is emulated. • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure- A virtual desktop infrastructure is a software technology which is used to separate a desktop environment and its associated application software from the physical device which is used to access it. In this technology a desktop operating system is hosted on a virtual machine.
