DO YOU USE THE CLOUD?
TYPE OF SERVICE

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software

distribution model in which applications are hosted
by a vendor or service provider and made
available to customers over a network,
typically the Internet.
http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/Software-as-a-Service
THE CLOUD REQUIRES
 An Internet connection
 An account - Created with a user name and a password
 Agree to Terms
SO WHAT IS THE CLOUD?

Computing and software resources that are delivered on demand, as service.

(2013, January) A Walk in the Clouds. Cloud Computing, CDW-G Reference Guide., 3-5.
THE BACK STORY

From ground to
cloud
COMPUTER STORAGE
 Computers have internal or hard drive storage(C: Drive)
 CPU has a drive for storing programs, documents, pictures, videos,
presentations, etc…

Standard Computer Tower
or Central Processing Unit
(CPU)

Inside the Computer
PROGRAMS
 Purchase programs
 Load to the computer
 Each computer would need the program loaded and stored on the internal
drive
EXTERNAL STORAGE
 Allows your content to become mobile
 Save to the storage device
 Take device to any compatible computer
 Open and use content
CD/DVD

Thumb Drive

SD Card

External Hard Drive

Micro SD Card
NETWORKED STORAGE
 Multiple work stations talk to one unit that stores information and data.
 Data is not saved to the C: drive, but to a network drive
 Can retrieve the data stored to the network from any of the connected
workstations.
SAVING DOCUMENTS
 When you do a “save as” on your computer, you choose where to save the
material.

Internal Storage
External Storage
Network
CLOUD STORAGE
Create an Account –
User name and
password
Content lives with the
account in the cloud
Log onto any computer
with Wi-Fi to find your
content
DOWNLOADS FOR STORAGE
 Download a cloud based app to a computer you own
 The app lives on your Computer
 Save files to the app
 When connected to the Internet it will sync with the cloud
 The Cloud can be accessed from any Internet connection
SAVE FILE AS
 Do “save as” to save a file to your computer and the cloud
 The syncing folders makes data retrieval easier
 Box and DropBox require this download to work
UPLOAD DOCUMENTS
 Log-in to the online storage account
 Click upload a file
 Find the file on hard drive, network, or external storage
 Upload to cloud storage
2 GB

5 GB
7 GB

5 GB
MORE THAN STORAGE

Software and
applications
DOCUMENT CREATION
 Google Docs
 SkyDrive
 Box
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED?
IMPLICATIONS
 What are we comfortable with patrons using?
INTERNET CAPABLE DEVICES
BENEFITS
 Saving Large Files
 Multiple file types – Photos, videos, presentations, docs
 Back-up of stored files
 File Sharing
 Access from devices
 Nothing to forget (thumb drive, cd)
 Project collaboration
FILE SHARING
OTHER SOFTWARE SERVICES
 Photo editing software
 Online banking apps
 Social media apps
 Communication
LIBRARY SPECIFIC SERVICES
 WorldCat
 MSC
 Ebsco
 Discover It
OTHER CLOUD SERVICES
TYPES OF SERVICE

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a way to rent hardware,
operating systems, storage and network capacity over the
Internet. The service delivery model allows the
customer to rent virtualized servers and
associated services for running existing
applications or developing and testing new ones.
http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/Platfor
m-as-a-Service-PaaS
TYPES OF SERVICE
 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a provision model in which
an organization outsources the equipment used to
support operations, including storage,
hardware, servers and networking components.
The service provider owns the equipment and is responsible
for housing, running and maintaining it. The client typically
pays on a per-use basis.
http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/Infra
structure-as-a-Service-IaaS
WHY THE CLOUD?
ADVANTAGES
 Can be less expensive compared to buying software and hardware
 Can be used from any computer or device with an Internet connection
 The device does not need as large of an internal storage system
 Compatible with most computers and operating systems
 Updates occur across the service
DISADVANTAGES
 Security Issues
 Terms of Service
 Privacy Policies

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. I hear this question often. It is not easy to explain, because it means different things depending on who you talk to. Today’s Webinar will focus on the basics of what cloud computing is and what it means to the average library user and the library staff member.
  2. Take the poll Have you used the cloud For one, two, three, or more of these services
  3. These items and many more, fall into the category of cloud computing called software as a service. Today’s presentation will focus on Software as a Service. There are other types of cloud computing and these will be briefly mentioned at the end of the presentation, but SaaS will be the primary topic today.
  4. The typical cloud software requires an account. You are asked to fill out a form like the example here for Google Mail. You also have to agree to the Terms of Service. Raise your hand on the dashboard if you have checked agree to Terms of Service without reading. Thanks for being honest. I highly recommend you go back and read those…you may learn some interesting things. The Privacy policies are also very revealing…check them out.
  5. An Internet connection is necessary for cloud computing The cloud is actually a bunch of computer servers that store and transmit data These servers are very large and can hold massive amounts of data The servers can be housed anywhere in the world A user accesses the data through a log-in
  6. To understand how we got into the cloud, you need to understand a little about computer storage.
  7. In addition to internal storage we have external storage. This comes in many shapes and sizes as you can see from the examples on this slide.
  8. We also use networked storage which is more commonly found in businesses and organizations. Still internal to the organization
  9. Each brand of cloud storage offers different levels of service. You can find your content and read it from any device with an Internet connection, but you may not be able to edit it from any computer.
  10. Some of these services offer an app download that adds a storage folder to your computer. Some services require that you download the app.
  11. If you have downloaded apps you will see the folders associated with the application when you do a “save as” on your computer. If I go to a Public Computing Center in library. Logon to a computer and open an Internet browser, I can go to Box.com or dropbox.com and sign into my account. I can open and view all my files, but I can’t make changes to the file.
  12. I am curious to know how many people in attendance are using one of the types of cloud storage. I will launch a poll to get your input. I am also wondering what you like about the cloud storage service you use. Please type this response into the chat box.
  13. We will keep using the same four examples to discuss applications, for sake of ease.
  14. Some cloud storage services also offer document creation services.
  15. These applications require setting up an account. You do not need a Microsoft mail or Gmail account to use. You can use your existing email to create a login.
  16. Cloud storage allows you to share files with anyone. Files can be made public, for anyone to search and find or it can be shared with one person and you can decide if the people the file is shared with can view or edit the file.
  17. These services are complex and require research and IT knowledge to pursue. They can be well worth the effort for many organziations.
