Mike Eldredge of tekOrange presented an overview of cloud technology. He discussed the benefits of cloud computing such as hourly or monthly pricing models and the ability to scale resources up or down as needed. He then described the three types of cloud computing: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Finally, he outlined tekOrange's cloud offerings such as email, backup services, virtual servers, and web hosting.

4. WHAT IS IT?
The term “Cloud” refers a metaphor for the Internet,
based on the cloud drawing used in the past to originally
represent the telephone network, and the later to depict
the Internet in computer network diagrams as an
abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents.
Cloud computing provides computing as a service
instead of as a product
Independent research firm Forrester Research expects
the global cloud computing market to reach $241 billion
in 2020 compared to $40.7 in 20101
