This document discusses cloud computing and its benefits for businesses. It defines cloud computing as using remote servers over the internet rather than local servers. The key benefits mentioned are huge cost savings and increased efficiency. It describes the three main cloud service models - Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides virtual computing resources, PaaS provides development platforms, and SaaS provides access to applications. The document states that cloud computing provides opportunities for small and medium enterprises to decrease time to market and improve business performance through scalable and flexible IT resources.
Cloud computing and SME
- 1. Presented by : Dhayis A Abdul
- 2. Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data rather than a personal computer or local server. It is the new revolution in information and communication technology. It's something we are already familiar with: emails and social networks are all services provided using the cloud. But the new idea associated with cloud computing is to bring the same concept to business, and shift data and basic applications to the cloud. This could generate huge savings and more efficiency in large areas of the public and private sector, especially in services and manufacturing.
- 3. “cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction” (Mell and Grance, 2011).
- 5. This refers to offering virtualised resources (computing/storage) on demand and is considered as the most basic type of cloud computing service model. In this model, it is the cloud user who is responsible for patching and maintaining the operating systems and application software. According to Lin et al., the target groups for IaaS are mainly the infrastructure providers and the system‟s administrators (Lin et al., 2009). User :IT Proffessional
- 6. In IaaS, there exists a cloud computing service type in that the cloud provider offers a computing platform that normally includes operating system or software development kit. This option is referred to as PaaS and is particularly interesting for developers (Lin et al., 2009).As one of the best examples of the PaaS services, mention can be made to Google App Engine which offers a scalable environment for developing and hosting web applications that are normally developed using specific programming languages. User : Developer
- 7. In this model, application software is installed by the cloud providers and users are given the access to the application software using their cloud client software. Therefore, the cloud users may not need to be concerned about the infrastructure or the platform on top of which their application is running (Creeger 2009; Durkee 2010; Mell and Grance 2009b). According to Lin et al., IT users are the main target of this type of cloud service (Lin et al., 2009). According to Lin et al., IT users are the main target of this type of cloud service (Lin et al., 2009). User : Business End User

- 13. Small and Medium Enterprise (SME), also known as Small and Medium Business (SMB), is a term used to describe companies with the number of employees below a certain threshold. While the term „SME‟ is more common within the European Union and is used by major international organizations, such as, the United Nations (UN) and the World Bank, SMB is more frequently used in United States (Georgios et al., 2001).
- 14. Cloud computing offers a new pathway to business agility and supports a faster time to market by offering ready to consume cloud enabled resources such as IT infrastructure as a service, software platforms, and business applications. These service can all be accessed on demand and provide support to new business requirement far faster than acquiring, installing, configuring and operation IT resources in house. Clearly this is an attractive proposition to the organisations. To survive, SMEs need to decrease time to market .
- 15. Therefore if the cloud is used appropriately within an overall IT strategy, it can provide a real competitive advantage, improve business performance and control the cost of IT resources required for scalable business growth.
