IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
Provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. Commonly used for hosting environments, testing and deployment of applications.
PaaS (Platform as a Service)
Offers hardware and software tools over the internet. Typically utilized by developers to build applications without managing the underlying infrastructure.
SaaS (Software as a Service)
Delivers software applications over the internet, on a subscription model. Widely used for email, customer relationship management (CRM), and collaboration tools.
Serverless Computing
Allows developers to build and run applications and services without managing servers. Often used for event-driven computing, microservices architectures.
CDN (Content Delivery Network)
A distributed network of servers that delivers content to users based on their geographic location. Common uses include serving multimedia content, caching web pages.
DaaS (Desktop as a Service)
Provides a virtual desktop experience to end-users over the internet. Frequently used for remote work scenarios and BYOD policies.
DBaaS (Database as a Service)
Cloud database systems that offer data storage and management as a service. Used to handle large sets of data and to deliver high availability.
Hybrid Cloud
A cloud computing environment that combines on-premises infrastructure, private cloud and public cloud services. Optimal for balancing flexibility and security.
Public Cloud
Services offered via the public internet to anyone willing to pay for them. It is cost-effective and has vast resources but lesser control over data security.
Private Cloud
A proprietary computing architecture that offers hosted services to a limited number of people behind a firewall, enhancing security.
Multi-Cloud
The use of multiple cloud computing services from different providers to minimize reliance on a single vendor, optimize resources and enhance disaster recovery.
Cloud Management Platforms
Integrated products that provide for the management of public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. Used for resource deployment, monitoring and automation.
DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service)
Provides business continuity by replicating and hosting physical or virtual servers to another location. It ensures minimal downtime and data loss.
FaaS (Function as a Service)
A type of serverless computing that allows developers to execute code in response to events without the complexity of building and maintaining infrastructure.
Edge Computing
A distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. Aimed at reducing latency and bandwidth use.
