Cloud Computing for E-Commerce
In this presentation, we will explore the
advantages of cloud computing in the e-commerce
industry. We will also look at successful
implementations and security measures.

What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing
services, such as servers, storage, databases,
software, and analytics over the internet. It
enables businesses to access these services
on-demand, without the need for physical hardware
or infrastructure.
Service Models
Deployment Models
Advantages
Cloud computing offers three service models
Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and
Infrastructure as a Service.
Cloud computing can be deployed through public,
private, hybrid, and community clouds, depending
on the business needs.
Cloud computing offers several advantages,
including scalability, flexibility, cost savings,
and global accessibility.

Types of Cloud Computing
There are several types of cloud computing
services, each with its unique features and
benefits. Here are some common types

Hybrid Cloud ??
Public cloud services are provided by third-party
vendors, and the infrastructure is shared among
multiple users.
Private cloud services are provided by a single
organization, and the infrastructure is dedicated
solely to that organization's needs.
Hybrid cloud services combine the benefits of
public and private clouds, allowing businesses to
leverage both in a single infrastructure.
