What is Hybrid Cloud?

It is essentially an IT architecture fusion of public and private cloud services. What exactly does that mean? Public cloud is computing services offered by third-party providers, and made available over the internet for anyone to use or purchase. Private cloud, on the other hand, is computing services and on-premises infrastructure hosted by the service provider. Hybrid cloud computing combines these two environments allowing data and applications to be shared between the two. Hybrid cloud computing is very necessary especially when it comes to the agility of workloads. This supports workload convenience and deployment across the different cloud environments. The most popular use of hybrid cloud is with Amazon Web Services (AWS) wherein its cloud infrastructure and services are deployed into a range of locations.

IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS

If you aren’t familiar with these abbreviations, these are the three main models of cloud technology. A while back we had defined Cloud Computing and gave a brief about it. In this blog we explain what they mean and essentially what they are. IaaS or Infrastructure-as-a-Service is basically a virtual data centre. This is a cloud-hosted infrastructure that provides similar features to on-premises data storage hardware (i.e. hard disks, servers, etc.) With IaaS, users can access and control infrastructure with greater flexibility and efficiency. PaaS or Platform-as-a-Service is a cloud-based platform for developers that provides the framework, software and tools to build applications. PaaS gives developers the proficiency of accessing pre-coded application components, sophisticated tools at affordable costs, and more options for multiple platforms. Plus, teams can collaborate on projects easily. SaaS or Software-as-a-Service is the most commonly used cloud-based platform. Cloud application services allows users to use software that is available over the internet – skipping any additional time and effort to download and install. With SaaS, software is available and can be accessed from any device, anywhere.

A VPN protects your identity even if you are using public or shared Wi-Fi, and your data will be kept private from any prying internet eyes.” Read more about how a VPN could be good for you here.

What is Cloud Computing?

What is it and how can it impact businesses? Cloud computing is essentially the delivery of computing services, or accessing and storing of data over the internet or “the cloud”. In this day and age, many businesses and individuals have used, or are currently using cloud computing. Some of these cloud services include Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Dropbox, Google Drive, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Amazon Web Services, just to name a few. Cloud computing is categorized into three primary services: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platforms-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). We will outline these in another post. Businesses that invest in cloud computing find that they save costs on operational expenses, are flexible when it comes to storage space, bandwidth and remote access, there is improved collaboration & optimum performance, plus there is more ease of software integration when expanding.
