Cloud Storage is a cloud computing model in which data is stored on remote servers accessed from the Internet. It is maintained, operated and managed by a cloud storage service provider on storage servers that are built on virtualization techniques.

 

Cloud Computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data,

rather than a local server or a personal computer.

 

Hosted Exchange is a service in the telecommunications industry whereby a provider makes an email box and space available on a server so its clients can host their data on the server. The service provider manages the hosted data for their clients on the remote “Cloud” server.

​

Application Program Interface (API) Access to the infrastructure can also be offered as an option.

Three (3) Categories: (IaaS), (SaaS) and (PaaS).

​

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a form of cloud computing that provides virtualized computing resources over the Internet, is a standardized highly automated offering where compute resources are complemented by storage, networking capabilities and offered to customers’ on-demand. Customers are able to self-provision the infrastructure, using a Web-based graphical user interface that serves as an IT operations management console for their overall IT environment.

​

Software as a Service (SaaS) is typically accessed by using a web browser. A common delivery model for many business applications, including office and messaging software, DBMS software, management software, CAD software, Development software, virtualization, accounting, collaboration, management information systems (MIS), enterprise resource planning (ERP), invoicing, human resource management (HRM), customer relationship management (CRM), service desk management and content management (CM). One of the biggest selling points for these companies is the potential to reduce IT support costs by outsourcing hardware and software maintenance and support to the SaaS provider.

 

Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers facilitate and deployment of applications or services without the OPEX outlays of buying and managing the underlying hardware, software and the provisioning hosting capabilities. All “as-a-service" offerings are characterized as providing a low initial, incremental cost and as your service usage grows, self-service, best practices built-in, resource sharing, management services, automated deployment, lifecycle management, reuse. (PaaS) provides these capabilities for application and service development, application design, application development, testing, deployment, as well as services such as team collaboration, web service integration, database integration, security, scalability, storage, state management, application versioning, application instrumentation and developer community facilitation.

 

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is the replication and hosting of physical or virtual servers by a (3rd) party to provide failover in the event of a man-made or natural catastrophe. The (DRaaS) services include a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that provides the (DR) outlines, requirements and expectations. In the event of an actual disaster, the off-site provider is less likely than the enterprise itself to suffer the direct and immediate effects, which allows the provider to implement the disaster recovery plan even in the event of the worst-case scenario: a total or near-total shutdown of the affected enterprise. With the time to return applications to production being reduced because data does not need to be restored over the internet. Utilizing (DRaaS) also means that the organization doesn't have to invest in or maintain its own off-site DR environment.

 

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) is a revolutionary new way of delivering a firewall and network security capabilities.

The (FWaaS) provides the ability to assign network-level, port security for all traffic entering and existing your network. The (FWaaS) platform replaces the gateway security appliances, adds a new level of web security, advanced threat protection, cloud sandbox, platform “Internet of Things” devices, data loss prevention and next-generation firewall, native SSL inspection, enforcing policies and blocking threats to make sure that nothing bad gets in, nothing good leaks out,

all delivered 100% in the cloud.

​

Appliances such as offered by Symantec, Blue Coat, Check Point, FireEye, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, SonicWALL

and Forcepoint, either they can’t keep up with the rising volume of Internet traffic you need to protect or can’t provide

the consistent protections needed across all your locations and mobile users.
