Pilvesüsteeme

Pilvesüsteeme, often translated as cloud systems, refers to a network of remote servers hosted on the internet used to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. This computing model allows for on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources, such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services, which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

The core concept behind cloud systems is virtualization, which enables the pooling of computing resources. This allows for greater efficiency and flexibility compared to traditional on-premises infrastructure. Users can access these resources over the internet through various devices. Cloud systems are typically offered by cloud providers and are categorized into different service models, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).

IaaS provides basic computing infrastructure, such as virtual machines and storage, on a pay-as-you-go basis. PaaS offers a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app. SaaS delivers software applications over the internet, on demand, typically on a subscription basis.

The benefits of using pilvesüsteeme include scalability, cost-effectiveness, accessibility, and reliability. Organizations can easily scale their computing resources up or down as needed, paying only for what they use. This model reduces the need for significant upfront capital investment in hardware and infrastructure. Data stored in the cloud can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, and cloud providers often ensure high availability and disaster recovery capabilities.
