In this lesson, we are going to discuss QlikView Cloud Computing capabilities and the concept of Software as a service (SaaS)<\/strong>. This might yet be a new world to explore for some you while some of you might already be aware of the cloud computing and services concepts. Nevertheless, we are exploring the technical knowhows of QlikView Cloud and SaaS.<\/p>\n

So, let’s start to explore how to deploy Cloud and SaaS in QlikView?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Introduction to Cloud and SaaS<\/h3>\n

So, to hit it off, let us first understand some basic concepts as cloud computing<\/strong>, SaaS and why do we need them to use with BI solutions like QlikView.<\/p>\n

What is Cloud Computing?<\/h3>\n

Cloud computing is an off-premise deployment of software services via the internet through a network of remote servers using hardware and software resources.<\/p>\n

The services provided are for storing, managing, and processing data remotely i.e. not on a local server or a computer. A third-party app gives the responsibility to run and maintain a particular service (on the service type). Also, a cloud service may be public or private.<\/p>\n

What is SaaS?<\/h3>\n

SaaS which stands for \u201cSoftware as a service\u201d is one of the three main cloud computing services provided to the users. The other two being IaaS (Infrastructure as a service) and PaaS (Platform as a service)<\/strong>.\u00a0SaaS offers as a term license where the user can avail the SaaS services for a limited period after purchasing the license.<\/p>\n

Why do we need QliKView Cloud?<\/h3>\n

With technologies like cloud computing and virtualization in a boom in the market, customers are equally willing to break out of old ways and adapt to new ones to enhance their businesses.<\/p>\n

Techniques like virtualization (i.e. creating a virtual machine on a physical machine) and cloud computing enable users to take their BI solutions and data with them wherever they go.<\/p>\n

It provides flexibility and ease-of-use in data analysis, business discovery, visualization and reporting. Thus, cloud computing and services such as Software as a Service give users the ability to analyze data on the fly by using such licensed cloud deployments and save big time on the investments did hardware and software resources.<\/p>\n

Deploying QlikView on Cloud<\/h3>\n

Deploying QlikView on cloud involves two important factors, i.e., hosting QlikView solutions on cloud and implementing security, architecture, and storage, data retrieval services rightly, according to the customer\u2019s requirement. When QlikView host as a service on the cloud out of the internal corporate network, security of the app, data, and processes is important.<\/p>\n

The matter of concern becomes the security and authenticity of users accessing an organization\u2019s private data. In the next section, we will learn how does the cloud vendors<\/strong> and QlikView implement security, architecture, infrastructure, storage and scalability in deploying QlikView on the cloud.<\/p>\n

Capabilities of QlikView Cloud Computing<\/h3>\n

Following are the features of Cloud computing, which can be helpful in QlikView-<\/p>\n

1. Security Integration<\/h4>\n

The most important aspect in cloud-based QlikView deployment is the security of data and user information. There are several security methods use according to the type of deployment and depends on the infrastructure and cloud environment of the user. Some commonly security methods are:<\/p>\n
