There is a global surge in the adoption of cloud services after the coronavirus outbreak.
“The cloud market is just entering the second half of the chessboard,” says Vaibhav Gawde, Head- Solution Engineering, Oracle India. That means, there is going to be phenomenal growth in the cloud business. The pursuit of higher performance, lower costs, easier integration, and smoother cloud migration has made cloud services important for organizations of all sizes, across sectors.
While the current global addressable market for cloud and private cloud is $213 billion, this pales in comparison to the worldwide IT spending of $3.8 trillion.
According to a recent NASSCOM, the Indian cloud computing market is currently valued at $2.2 billion and is expected to grow at 30 percent (year-on-year) to reach $7.1 billion by 2022. Oracle offers highly automated and secure second-generation cloud infrastructure driven by self-securing, self-repairing and self-driving Autonomous Database. In fact, this is unique to Oracle and makes us stand apart when it comes to security.
What is Cloud Computing?🤔🤔🤔
Cloud Computing is defined as storing and accessing data and computing services over the internet. It doesn't store any data on your personal computer. It is the on-demand availability of computer services like servers, data storage, networking, databases, etc. The main purpose of cloud computing is to give access to data centers to many users. Users can also access data from a remote server.
Examples of Cloud Computing Services:
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud
Let’s learn Cloud Computing basics with an example -
Whenever you travel through a bus or train, you take a ticket for your destination and hold back to your seat till you reach your destination. Likewise, other passengers also take tickets and travel on the same bus with you and it hardly bothers you where they go. When your stop comes you get off the bus thanking the driver. Cloud computing is just like that bus, carrying data and information for different users and allows to use its service with minimal cost.
Benefits of Cloud Computing:👍
The cost-saving potential is the major reason for cloud services adoption by many organizations. Cloud computing gives the freedom to use services as per the requirement and pay only for what you use. Due to cloud computing, it has become possible to run IT operations as an outsourced unit without many in-house resources.
Following are the benefits of cloud computing:
- Lower IT infrastructure and computer costs for users
- Improved performance
- Fewer Maintenance issues
- Instant software updates
- Improved compatibility between Operating systems
- Backup and recovery
- Performance and Scalability
- Increased storage capacity
- Increase data safety
Types of Clouds:
Following are the different types of Clouds:
*Private Cloud
*Community Cloud
*Public Cloud
*Hybrid Cloud
Cloud Computing Services:
The three major Cloud Computing Offerings are
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Different businesses use some or all of these components according to their requirement.
What is Cloud Computing Architecture?🤔🤔🤔
Cloud Computing Architecture is a combination of components required for a Cloud Computing service. A Cloud computing architecture consists of several components like a front-end platform, a back-end platform or servers, a network or internet service, and a cloud-based delivery service.
Virtualization and Cloud Computing:☁💻
The main enabling technology for Cloud Computing is Virtualization. Virtualization is the partitioning of a single physical server into multiple logical servers. Once the physical server is divided, each logical server behaves like a physical server and can run an operating system and applications independently. Many popular companies like VMWare and Microsoft provide virtualization services, where instead of using your personal PC for storage and computation, you use their virtual server. They are fast, cost-effective, and less time-consuming.
For software developers and testers, virtualization comes very handily, as it allows developers to write code that runs in many different environments and more importantly to test that code.
Virtualization is mainly used for three main purposes
1) Network Virtualization.
2) Server Virtualization
3) Storage Virtualization
