Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.

Cloud computing has two meanings. The most common refers to running workloads remotely over the internet in a commercial provider’s data center, also known as the “public cloud” model. Popular public cloud offerings—such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Salesforce’s CRM system, and Microsoft Azure—all exemplify this familiar notion of cloud computing. Today, most businesses take a multi cloud approach, which simply means they use more than one public cloud service.

The second meaning of cloud computing describes how it works: a virtualized pool of resources, from raw compute power to application functionality, available on demand. When customers procure cloud services, the provider fulfills those requests using advanced automation rather than manual provisioning. The key advantage is agility: the ability to apply abstracted compute, storage, and network resources to workloads as needed and tap into an abundance of prebuilt services.

Types of Cloud Computing

IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-service)

At a basic level, IaaS public cloud providers offer storage and compute services on a pay-per-use basis. But the full array of services offered by all major public cloud providers is staggering: highly scalable databases, virtual private networks, big data analytics, developer tools, machine learning, application monitoring, and so on.

At Magtech we deploy and support our own Magtech Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 .

PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service)

PaaS provides sets of services and workflows that specifically target developers, who can use shared tools, processes, and APIs to accelerate the development, testing, and deployment of applications. At Magtech we deploy and support Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 .

SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)

This involves the licensure of a software application to customers. Licenses are typically provided through a pay-as-you-go model or on-demand.

At Magtech we deploy and support Magtech Cloud and Office 365.
