Principles of cloud computing and deployment

Introduction

Microsoft business applications are intelligent solutions that supply a comprehensive view

of an organization’s business. These solutions include the Microsoft Dynamics 365 products 

that are connected by data and intelligence and are supported by Microsoft Power Platform.

   Dynamics 365 revolutionizes CRM and ERP by applying intelligence to all forms of data.

It enables organizations to evolve from reactive business decisions to proactive insights

that allow your employees to accelerate business results. 

What Is Cloud Computing?

 cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, 

networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster

innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. You typically pay only for cloud services 

you use, helping lower your operating costs, run your infrastructure more efficiently and scale 

as your business needs change.

Types of cloud computing

Not all clouds are the same and not one type of cloud computing is right for everyone. 

Several different models, types and services have evolved to help offer the right solution for your needs.

First, you need to determine the type of cloud deployment or cloud computing architecture, 

that your cloud services will be implemented on. There are three different ways to deploy cloud services:

on a public cloud, private cloud or hybrid cloud.

1) Public cloud

Public clouds are owned and operated by a third-party cloud service providers, which deliver their

computing resources like servers and storage over the Internet. Microsoft Azure is an example of 

a public cloud. With a public cloud, all hardware, software and other supporting infrastructure is 

owned and managed by the cloud provider.

2)Private cloud

A private cloud refers to cloud computing resources used exclusively by a single business or

organisation. A private cloud can be physically located on the company’s on-site datacenter. 

Some companies also pay third-party service providers to host their private cloud. A private 

cloud is one in which the services and infrastructure are maintained on a private network. 

3) Hybrid cloud

Hybrid clouds combine public and private clouds, bound together by technology that allows data and

applications to be shared between them. By allowing data and applications to move between private and

public clouds, a hybrid cloud gives your business greater flexibility, more deployment options and helps

optimise your existing infrastructure, security and compliance.

 

benefits of cloud computing

1) Cost

Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software and setting up and 

running on-site datacenters—the racks of servers.

2) Speed

Most cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of 

computing resources can be provisioned in minutes.

 

3) Performance

The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure datacenters, which are regularly

upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware.

4) Security

Many cloud providers offer a broad set of policies, technologies and controls that strengthen your security

posture overall, helping protect your data.
