ARPANET.
 The popularization of the term can be traced to 2006 when Amazon.com introduced the
Elastic Compute Cloud.

FUTURE OF CLOUD
 Major desktop OS will be deployed on the cloud
 More application availability on the cloud
 Increased growth in the market for cloud
 Increased development for the cloud
 More innovation because of cloud

CLOUD VS STANDALONE APPS
 No upfront costs
 Access from anywhere
 No manual updates
 True collaboration

CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDERS

DATA CENTERS
“Data centers are physical or virtual infrastructure used by enterprises to house computer,
server and networking systems and components for the company's information technology
