CLOUD COMPUTING

 A system architecture model for internet-based

computing.
 Cloud is a metaphor for the internet.
 Broadly divided into 3 categories :-
 Infrastructure as –a Services (IaaS).
 Platform-as-a services (PaaS).
 Software as a services (SaaS).

 ARCHITECTURE

 Cloud architecture
 Extends to the client – web browsers
 Software application use to access cloud applications.

 Cloud Storage Architecture

 Loosely coupled where metadata operations.
 Enabling the data nodes to scale.
