WHAT IS THE CLOUD?
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Cloud computing - model for convenient, on-demand network
access to shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services).
Rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management
effort.
Cloud computing provides computation, software, data
access, and storage services – does not require end-user
knowledge of physical location and configuration of the
system that delivers services.
