What is cloud computing? - Answer ...is the delivery of computing services—servers, storage,
databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence and more—over the internet ("the
cloud")
What is the goal of cloud computing? - Answer ...is to make running a business easier and
more efficient, whether it's a small start-up company or a large enterprise. Every business is
unique and has different needs.
Compute Services - Answer Enables you to run your own web apps, databases, virtual
machines, and other types of computing in the cloud instead on local hardware. An example of
compute services is Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines.
Communication Services - Answer Provides communications between users. Examples of
communication services include Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Teams. Exchange
Online provides email, calendar, and contact sharing, and Teams provides instant messaging,
computer-to-computer audio and video calls, screen sharing, and an integrated platform for
sharing of documents and collaboration.
Productivity Services - Answer Allows users to work and collaborate. An example is MS 365,
which provides a comprehensive collaboration platform for the entire organization.
Search Services - Answer Provides search functionality into custom applications. It can provide
a search engine and data storage that can be accessed on an API. An example of search services
is Azure Search.
Storage Services - Answer Provides a storage platform for data. By storing data in the cloud,
any user or device can access it. Example are MS Azure Storage and MS OneDrive for Business.
Capital Expenditures (CapEx) - Answer are the costs associated with buying or upgrading
physical hardware, such as servers, networking equipment, and storage. It also includes real
estate such as buildings or datacenter space. The physical resources are amortized over several
years. Instead of deducting the full cost of the equipment in the first year, you deduct a portion
of it each year.
, Management is responsible for minimizing OpEx without significantly affecting the
organization's operations and ability to compete in the marketplace. OpEx is expensed each
year because you pay for and use the product or service.
On-Premises Computing Costs - Answer -server costs
-storage costs
-network costs
-backup and archive costs
-business continuity and disaster recovery costs
-datacenter infrastructure costs
-technical personnel
Server Costs (CapEx) - Answer Includes all hardware components and the cost of hardware
support. When purchasing, make sure to design fault tolerance and redundancy, such as server
clustering, redundant power supplies, and uninterruptable power supplies. When a server
needs to be replaced or added to a datacenter, you need to use CapEx to pay for the computer.
This will affect your immediate cash flow because you have to pay for the server up front.
However, you can amortize the cost over several years.
Storage Costs (CapEx) - Answer Includes all hardware components and the cost of hardware
support. Based on the application and level of fault tolerance, centralized storage can be quite
expensive. For larger organizations, you can create tiers of storage where more expensive fault-
tolerant storage is used for critical applications and lower priorities use a less expensive form of
storage.
Network Costs (CapEx) - Answer Includes all hardware components, including cabling,
switches, access points, and routers. This also includes wide are network (WAN) and internet
connections.
Backup and archive costs (CapEx) - Answer Cost to bac up, copy, or archive data to the cloud or
datacenter. Options might include backing up to or from the cloud. These costs are CapEx for
hardware, but OpEx for backup maintenance and consumables such as tapes.
Business continuity and disaster recovery costs (CapEx) - Answer Along with server fault
tolerance and redundancy, you need to plan for how to recover from a disaster and continue
operating. Your plan should consist of creating a data recovery site. It could also include backup
generators. These are mostly CapEx costs- especially if you build a DR site, but the infrastructure
