Cloud Computing Solutions, Performance and Security

There are three basic types of cloud computing:

• Infrastructure as a Service
• Platform as a Service
• Software as a Service

Infrastructure as a service serves clusters or virtualized servers, storage, network and system software for replacing the function of the whole data center. On the other hand, platform as a service has virtualized servers by which users can operate existing applications or they can develop new ones regardless of operating systems, server hardware and computing capacity. And Software as a service (SaaS) is the most widely used form of cloud computing, which provides entire functions related to sophisticated traditional applications.

It is easy to install the software in SaaS as well as no complexity for maintenance, upgrades and patches as the software is being managed centrally at the SaaS dealer's facilities.
