1) What does Infrastructure as a Service mean? a) where software is supplied over the Internet and so there is no need to install the software applications on the customer server b) the cloud provider supplies a platform to run the application software c) the cloud is providing online (or virtual) hardware, rather than the business buying their own d) the service can be increased or decreased as required 2) What does Software as a Service mean? a) where software is supplied over the Internet and so there is no need to install the software applications on the customer server b) the cloud provider supplies a platform to run the application software c) the cloud is providing online (or virtual) hardware, rather than the business buying their own d) the service can be increased or decreased as required 3) What does Platform as a Service mean? a) where software is supplied over the Internet and so there is no need to install the software applications on the customer server b) the cloud provider supplies a platform to run the application software c) the cloud is providing online (or virtual) hardware, rather than the business buying their own d) the service can be increased or decreased as required 4) When a client or organisation is paying for online storage, if they need more space, the cloud provider will automatically increase the space required and charge accordingly. What is this? a) Charges b) Cloud Computing c) Scalability d) Thin Client 5) Which of these is an advantage of Cloud Computing? a) There is a concern about how secure data is when it is stored globally b) It makes use of low specification computers as thin clients; they are easy to maintain and set up c) Data can be obtained by staff who are teleworking wherever they have an Internet account to log on. d) There is a limit to the number of thin clients that can be run from a server; this is dependent upon the specification of the server. 6) Which of these is an disadvantage of Thin Client Computing? a) Security is improved as all data can be kept away from the network in a secure location b) Data can be obtained by staff who are teleworking wherever they have an Internet account to log on c) The web service provided may be unreliable d) There is a limit to the number of thin clients that can be run from a server; this is dependent upon the specification of the server. 7) Which of these is an advantage of Thin Client Computing? a) The installation, updating or removal of software only needs to be added at the server which saves time and creates a consistent system b) Users of thin client computers may find the operation of software slower when the server is heavily loaded. c) Legal issues (Data Protection Act) may arise if the cloud operates outside of the European Union. d) The use of equipment is rented from the cloud which is initially cheaper than purchasing equipment for a new project. 8) Which of these is a disadvantage of Cloud Computing? a) Cloud providers typically provide software which can be used by many different organisations; so the organisations benefit by avoiding the purchase of the software and the purchase of hardware to operate it. b) Special hardware environments are not required and organisations can leave the cloud companies to organise data backup and security, including disaster recovery. c) There is a concern about how secure data is when it is stored globally d) Users of thin client computers may find the operation of software slower when the server is heavily loaded. 9) Which of these is a cloud computing provider? a) Apple b) Google c) Drop Box d) VMWare e) Citrix f) All of the above 10) What is this? a) Router b) Cloud Box c) Thin Client d) Apple TV e) Card Reader f) All of the above
