If your ecommerce business is progressing to the Cloud, you need to be familiar with these three main types of cloud computing:
如果您的电子商务业务正在向云计算发展，则需要熟悉以下三种主要的云计算类型：
- IaaS — Infrastructure as a Service IaaS —基础架构即服务
- PaaS — Platform as a Service PaaS —平台即服务
- SaaS — Software as a Service SaaS —软件即服务
These are all experiencing a surge in popularity as more businesses move to the Cloud. Gartner forecasts worldwide public cloud revenue to grow 17% in 2020. With growth rates like these, cloud computing will soon be the industry norm, and many businesses are phasing out on-prem software altogether.
随着越来越多的企业迁移到云中，这些都在Swift普及。 Gartner预测，2020年全球公共云收入将增长17％ 。 有了这样的增长率，云计算将很快成为行业规范，并且许多企业正在完全淘汰本地软件。
Utilizing cloud computing is a great way to future-proof your business.
利用云计算是确保企业永不过时的好方法。
本地，SaaS，PaaS，IaaS的定义 (Definition of On-Prem, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS)
It was actually not so long ago, that every company’s IT systems were on-prem (located at the company’s premises), and clouds were only those white fluffy stuff in the sky.
实际上，不久前，每个公司的IT系统都是本地的(位于公司的场所)，而云只是天空中那些蓬松的白色东西。
Today, you can utilize the Cloud platform for nearly all your systems and processes. SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS are simply three ways to describe how you can use the cloud for your business.
如今，您可以将Cloud平台用于几乎所有系统和流程。 SaaS，PaaS和IaaS只是描述如何在企业中使用云的三种方式。
On-prem: software that is installed in the same building as your business.
本地 ：与您的企业安装在同一建筑物中的软件。
IaaS: cloud-based services, pay-as-you-go for services such as storage, networking, and virtualization.
IaaS ：基于云的服务，按需付费，用于存储，网络和虚拟化等服务。
PaaS: hardware and software tools available over the internet.
PaaS ：Internet上可用的硬件和软件工具。
SaaS: software that is available via a third-party over the internet.
SaaS ：可通过互联网通过第三方获得的软件。
Here is a visual breakdown of these cloud services:
以下是这些云服务的直观分类：
SaaS，PaaS和IaaS的示例 (Examples of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS)
Most businesses use a combination of SaaS and IaaS cloud computing services, and many engage developers to create applications using PaaS, too.
大多数企业使用SaaS和IaaS云计算服务的组合，并且许多企业也吸引开发人员使用PaaS创建应用程序。
IaaS examples: Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2, Rackspace, Google Compute Engine (GCE), Digital Ocean, Magento 1 Enterprise Edition.
IaaS示例：Amazon Web Services(AWS)EC2，Rackspace，Google Compute Engine(GCE)，Digital Ocean，Magento 1 Enterprise Edition。
PaaS examples: AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku, Windows Azure (mostly used as PaaS), Force.com, OpenShift, Apache Stratos, Magento Commerce Cloud.
PaaS示例：AWS Elastic Beanstalk，Heroku，Windows Azure(主要用作PaaS)，Force.com，OpenShift，Apache Stratos，Magento Commerce Cloud。
SaaS examples: Novade Solutions, BigCommerce, Google Apps, Salesforce, Dropbox, MailChimp, ZenDesk, DocuSign, Slack, Hubspot.

解释的云计算服务类型 (Types of Cloud Computing Services Explained)
1. IaaS(基础架构即服务) (1. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service))
IaaS businesses offer services such as pay-as-you-go storage, networking, and virtualization. IaaS gives users cloud-based alternatives to on-prem infrastructure, so businesses can avoid investing in expensive on-site resources.
IaaS业务提供按需付费存储，网络和虚拟化等服务。 IaaS为用户提供了基于云的替代本地基础结构的方式，因此企业可以避免对昂贵的现场资源进行投资。
Maintaining on-prem IT infrastructure is costly and labor-intensive. It often requires a significant initial investment in physical hardware, and then you will probably need to engage external IT contractors to maintain the hardware and keep everything working and up-to-date.
维护本地IT基础结构成本高昂且劳动强度大。 它通常需要在物理硬件上进行大量的初始投资，然后您可能需要聘请外部IT承包商来维护硬件并保持一切正常工作和最新状态。
IaaS平台特性： (IaaS Platform Characteristics:)
- Highly flexible and highly scalable. 高度灵活和高度可扩展。
- Accessible by multiple users. 可被多个用户访问。
- Cost-effective. 性价比高。
2. PaaS(平台即服务) (2. PaaS (Platform as a Service))
A PaaS vendor provides hardware and software tools over the internet, and people use these tools to develop applications.
PaaS供应商通过Internet提供硬件和软件工具，人们使用这些工具来开发应用程序。
PaaS is primarily used by developers who are building software or applications. A PaaS solution provides the platform for developers to create unique, customizable software. This means developers do not need to start from scratch when creating applications, saving them a lot of time (and money) on writing extensive code.
PaaS主要由正在构建软件或应用程序的开发人员使用。 PaaS解决方案为开发人员提供了创建独特的可定制软件的平台。 这意味着开发人员在创建应用程序时无需从头开始，从而节省了编写大量代码的大量时间(和金钱)。
PaaS平台特点： (PaaS Platform Characteristics:)
- Accessible by multiple users. 可被多个用户访问。
- Scalable — you can choose from various tiers of resources to suit the size of your business. 可扩展-您可以从各种资源层中进行选择以适合您的业务规模。
- Built on virtualization technology. 基于虚拟化技术。
- Easy to run without extensive system administration knowledge. 无需广泛的系统管理知识即可轻松运行。
3. SaaS(软件即服务) (3. SaaS (Software as a Service))
SaaS platforms make software available to users over the internet, usually for a monthly subscription fee.
SaaS平台通过互联网向用户提供软件，通常需要按月订阅。
With SaaS, you do not need to install and run software applications on your computer (or any computer). Everything is available over the internet when you log in to your account online. You can usually access the software from any device, anytime and anywhere (as long as there is an internet connection).
使用SaaS，您无需在计算机(或任何计算机)上安装和运行软件应用程序。 在线登录帐户时，所有内容都可以通过Internet获得。 通常，您可以随时随地从任何设备上访问该软件(只要有Internet连接)。
A SaaS salesman would tell you, “It is all taken care of in the Cloud.”
SaaS推销员会告诉您：“一切都在云端进行了。”
SaaS平台特征： (SaaS Platform Characteristics:)
- Available over the internet. 可通过互联网获得。
- Hosted on a remote server by a third-party provider. 由第三方提供商托管在远程服务器上。
- Scalable, with different tiers for small, medium, and enterprise-level businesses. 可扩展，具有适用于中小型和企业级企业的不同层。
- Inclusive, offering security, compliance, and maintenance as part of the cost. 包括在内，将安全性，合规性和维护作为成本的一部分。
披萨即服务 (Pizza as a Service)
Each of these cloud computing service gives users choice, flexibility, and options that on-prem hosting simply cannot provide. The level of system administration knowledge decreases in this order: On-prem > IaaS > PaaS > SaaS.
这些云计算服务中的每一个都为用户提供了选择，灵活性以及本地托管根本无法提供的选项。 系统管理知识的级别按以下顺序降低：本地> IaaS> PaaS> SaaS。
Using pizza as an example to breakdown each type of service:
以披萨为例来细分每种服务：
加起来 (Summing Up)
IaaS is there to provide you with maximum flexibility when it comes to hosting custom-built apps, as well as a providing a general data center for data storage.
在托管定制应用程序时， IaaS可以为您提供最大的灵活性，还可以为数据存储提供通用数据中心。
PaaS is most often built on top of an IaaS platform to reduce the need for system administration. It allows you to focus on app development instead of infrastructure management.
PaaS通常是基于IaaS平台构建的，以减少系统管理的需求。 它使您可以专注于应用程序开发，而不是基础架构管理。
SaaS offers ready-to-use, out-of-the-box solutions that meet a particular business need (such as website or email). Most modern SaaS platforms are built on IaaS or PaaS platforms.
SaaS提供满足特定业务需求(例如网站或电子邮件)的即用型即用型解决方案。 大多数现代SaaS平台都建立在IaaS或PaaS平台上。
You might choose to start with one or any combination of these cloud computing services, depending on the size and complexity of your business.
您可以选择从这些云计算服务中的一种或任何一种开始，具体取决于企业的规模和复杂性。
