The Different Types of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the process of moving data and applications to the cloud, which allows businesses to access them from any location connected to the internet. When businesses move to the cloud, they can eliminate expensive hardware investment and swiftly scale up or down infrastructure as needed. This lets businesses innovate faster, without waiting for new technology.

Enterprises make use of the cloud most often by hosting their software on the servers of a cloud service provider. This type of cloud computing is data room called Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). SaaS providers host all of the middleware, hardware, and application software required to run an enterprise application in their data centers. They typically provide this service on a per-use basis, which means that the customer only pays for what they use.

Another popular cloud service is called Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). IaaS allows companies to rent the storage and hardware required for its own application in a cloud computing service’s data center. It’s similar to renting an apartment where you only pay for rooms you use, such as the kitchen for eating dinner or the bedroom before you’re asleep.

Finally, a newer cloud service called Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is emerging that offers even more scalability and agility for business users. FaaS splits cloud applications into small components that are only activated when needed to ensure that you pay for the resources you need only when you need them.
