Cloud Services For Dummies

Book Details

Book Description

Welcome to Cloud Services For Dummies, IBM Limited Edition. Whether public, private, or hybrid, cloud computing is becoming an increasingly integral part of many companies' business and technology strategy. Cloud services help companies turn IT resources into a flexible, elastic, and self-service set of resources that they can more easily manage and scale to support changing business needs.

While many different delivery models for cloud computing services exist, two foundational services are a requirement for making cloud computing into a strategic part of an overall computing infrastructure. These include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). IaaS is the services that enable you to gain access to compute and storage resources in an on demand model. PaaS is the services that sit on top of IaaS and enable you to build applications to support the business.

This book gives you some insights into what it means to leverage both IaaS and PaaS in both public and private cloud environments and how these environments work with data center services. Companies leveraging these foundational cloud services need to keep all the models in context with business requirements for performance, security, and portability.

This book helps put the foundational cloud services - IaaS and PaaS into context. In addition, the topics covered in this book are critical to the success of hybrid environments.
