What is Cloud Computing?

Since the birth of industry and commerce, people have increasingly needed better methods to store data and access it when needed. In the pre-computer era, valuable information was physically stored on paper, today data is stored predominantly on the hard drives of computers and servers. These hard drives and servers can store, process and receive significant amounts of data quickly and easily. However, both hard drives and servers have limitations, and with the growth rate of today's businesses and industries, the need for storage capable of storing and processing an increasingly significant amount of data has become a priority. This is where the cloud computing architecture comes into play. Because Cloud Computing is the best way to automate all these processes and make data more secure. Let's take a look at what you need to know about Cloud Computing, which is evolving and adding value to companies.

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is the optional provision of IT services such as servers, networks, data centers and software over the Internet. Instead of buying physical data centers and servers, the cloud system allows you to pay for access to this technology — usually in the form of a subscription. In other words, cloud computing is defined as a virtual platform that allows you to store and access your data over the internet without any limitations.

Companies that can offer all the services under the name of information technologies are called cloud providers. They provide you with the ability to store, retrieve data and run applications, managing them through configuration portals. Cloud computing, in short, is the provision of computing services via the internet or cloud. Storage, software, servers, databases, networking, and analytics functions are included. These services are provided by a cloud provider. So you don't need to buy any software. It is a network where you can pay for the time you use it.

What are the types of cloud computing?

As the architecture of cloud computing evolves day by day, it is classified into several different categories. However, there are six that stand out from various categories. These six categories are also divided into two sections: the cloud-based deployment category and the cloud-based services category. The types of cloud computing based on deployment can be listed as follows:

Cloud computing as a service models are divided into three: SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. They are also known as cloud computing layers. There are differences between these three types of cloud computing, and in order to have the right type for your company, you need to know both your needs and what the types of cloud computing offer.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

IaaS is also seen as the first layer in cloud computing and therefore contains the building blocks for Cloud IT. This cloud computing infrastructure is offered with virtualization or hardware integration. Servers, networks, operating systems, virtual machines, storage capacities and other types of infrastructure are included. It has the advantage that the end user has complete freedom to choose the hardware, but is responsible for configuring and maintaining it. Therefore, it is very important to have the technical knowledge in the organization to be able to maintain and install IaaS cloud computing yourself. You can enjoy cloud benefits such as pay-as-you-go and scalability.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)

With PaaS, the customer does not have to manage the underlying infrastructure (usually hardware, operating systems, and databases) and can concentrate on deploying and managing applications. It is quite efficient for the user, because you do not have to worry about purchasing resources, capacity planning, software maintenance and patching.

In most cases, there are also facilities for development. This usually involves working with a framework or development language in which functions such as Python, Java or .NET can be clearly defined. In this way, your software developers use this cloud computing model to develop, test, deliver, and manage applications. For this, you can have a rich platform with microservices that give you a lot of control over your cloud applications.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

You usually buy apps via the cloud on a subscription basis. The provider is responsible for managing the infrastructure, security patches and updates. A SaaS solution is ready to use. You can immediately take advantage of added value, such as scaling up and downsizing and paying as you use it. In addition, the SaaS environment is very wide. It is possible to use CRM and personnel management applications on the one hand, and email clients and marketing software on the other.

With SaaS cloud computing services, the provider has full control over the applications. In many cases, a third party that performs management on behalf of the client or on behalf of the client can functionally manage and compile the application.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

Before the advent of cloud computing systems, businesses were predominantly using servers, databases, hardware, software, and other peripherals to bring their businesses online. Most importantly, they had to buy many of these components to make their website or app reach users. Businesses also needed a specialized team to manage hardware and software and monitor infrastructure. While practical, this approach brought unique problems such as high installation cost, complex components, and limited storage space. Cloud Computing was created to solve these problems. Cloud Computing not only provides solutions to all these problems, but also benefits in many ways. Here are the advantages of cloud computing:

Cloud Computing Uses?

Even if you don't realize it, you probably use cloud computing regularly in your daily life. If you use an online service such as sending emails, watching movies or TV, listening to music, playing games, or storing your files, it's likely that cloud computing services make all this possible behind the scenes.

  1. Data storage: Thanks to cloud computing, users can store their data securely over the internet. In this way, they can access their data at any time, without running low on the internal memory of their devices.
  2. Business data processing: Cloud computing is an important data processing tool for enterprises. For example, an e-commerce site can instantly track the purchasing behavior of its customers and use this data to make marketing campaigns more effective.
  3. Collaboration: Cloud computing facilitates interaction between businesses and employees. For example, a project team can create a collaborative workspace by sharing documents over cloud computing. So everyone can access and update the same files at the same time.
  4. Mobile access: Thanks to cloud computing, data is also accessible via mobile devices. So users can access and process data wherever and whenever they want.
  5. Scalability: Cloud computing can scale to the needs of users. For example, while a business needs a certain amount of data storage on a monthly basis, this need may increase over time. Thanks to cloud computing, this need can be met and the data storage space can be easily expanded.
