Types of Cloud Services.I. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
o Servers, Virtual Services, Storage, Switches, Backups

What is a Cloud ?
Cloud Benefits – Cost– Superior Infrastructure and Support– Scalability and flexibility– Reliability
Cloud Benefits Cost– A la carte services– Replace up-front capital Infrastructure expenses
with low variable costs that scale with your business
– Servers can be setup in minutes and deliver results faster
– Operating System and database licensing as part of service
Cloud Benefits Superior Infrastructure and support
– Hosted by large companies like Amazon, Oracle, Rackspace
and Microsoft who back their services with experience and
proven uptime.
– AWS GovCloud (US) is ITAR compliant
– 7/24 account service
Cloud Benefits Scalability and flexibility– Because the environments are virtual they can be
quickly modified to accommodate a larger workload or even scaled back. Memory, hard drive space and CPUs can be tailored to exactly what you need
– Whether you need one virtual server or thousands you only pay for what you use.
Reliability
– Reliability is improved because multiple redundant sites are used, which makes well-designed cloud computing suitable for business continuity and disaster recovery.
– Instances can be quickly deployed to replace damaged Operating Systems and databases
– Amazon boasts 99.95% uptime– Microsoft and Google tout 99.9% uptime
Cloud Benefits
Cloud Challenges
Internet Dependence
Administration Privacy, Security, Sustainability, and abuse.
Cloud ChallengesInternet Dependence – If your internet connection is not reliable or you do
not have broadband available then the Cloud is not for you. Once the internet goes down then your business does as well
– GovCloud requires more internet infrastructure and a direct connection to an Amazon solutions provider
Cloud ChallengesAdministration– Requires staff with cloud knowledge and
proficiency in cloud instance administration– Cloud consultants can be very expensive and time
consuming
Cloud Challenges
Privacy, Security, Sustainability, and abuse– As with any new technology there will be issues with
privacy and security– Sustainability may become an issue if centralized
hosting ends up costing more than in house environments
– Abuse, hacking and data safety could always be an issue
