Introduction to Cloud Computing


Cloud computing refers to both the applications delivered as services over the Internet and the
hardware and systems software in the data centers that provide those services. The data center
hardware and software is what we will call a Cloud. Cloud computing is relatively new concept and it has
become popular recently. Cloud leverages virtualization technology and in the essence of Cloud
computing there is a logical separation between different nodes, each node appears as a different
physical machine to the user. Unlike grid computing, it makes several distributed computers connected
together to form a big logical computer which can handle large amount of data and computation.

Cloud Computing

In case of Cloud computing the virtualization technology makes it possible to have each node appear as
separate physical machine allowing user to load custom software and operating system on each node
and configure custom rules for each node.The idea of Cloud computing is evolved from parallel
processing, distributed computing and grid computing. There is a bit similarity between them but they
work differently. Although Cloud computing is an emerging field of computer science, the idea has been
around for a few years. It's called Cloud computing because the data and applications exist on a "cloud"
of Web servers.

Cloud Services

To simplify the concept, Cloud computing can be defined as simply the sharing and use of applications
and resources of a network environment to get work done without concern about ownership and
management of the network's resources and applications. According to Scale, with Cloud computing,
computer resources for getting work done and their data are no longer stored on one's personal
computer, but are hosted elsewhere to be made accessible in any location and at any time.Grid
computing A form of distributed computing and parallel computing, whereby a 'super and virtual
computer' is composed of a cluster of networked, loosely coupled computers acting in concert to
perform very large tasks

Cloud Computing Company

Utility computing The packaging of computing resources, such as computation and storage, as a
metered service similar to a traditional public utility, such as electricity.Cloud computing using
information technology as a services over the network. The concept generally encompasses of
Infrastructure as a service, Platform as a service Hardware as a Service and Software as a service. It can
be the ability to rent a server or servers and run a geophysical modeling application available anywhere.
It can be the ability to rent a virtual server, load software on it, turn it on and off at will, or clone it to
meet a sudden workload demand. It can be storing and securing large amounts of data that is accessible
only by authorized applications and users.
Cloud Computing For

It can be supported by a cloud provider that sets up a platform with the ability to scale automatically in
response to changing workloads. It can be using a storage cloud to hold application, business, and
personal data. And it can be the ability to use a handful of Web services to integrate photos, maps, and
GPS information to create a front page in customer Web browsers.In a cloud computing system, there is
a significant workload shift. Local computers no longer have to run applications. The network of
computers that make up the cloud handles them instead. In this situation the demand of hardware and
software on the user's side is decreased.
