The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...

This cloud cube model lets you securely pick cloud formation. This model serves to provide a safe and secured Internet network for IT administrators enterprises, and business leaders. Jericho cloud cube model  Jericho Forum is an international independent group of information security leaders & their focus is on how to protect and secure cloud networks. They put forward a model that helps to categorize a cloud network based on four-dimensional factors. The Jericho Cloud Cube Model describes the multidimensional elements of cloud computing, framing not only cloud use cases, but also how they are deployed and used. The Cloud Cube Model, established and developed by the Jericho Forum, assists in categorizing cloud networks based on four dimensions: Internal/External Proprietary/Open Perimeterised/De-perimet...
