Cloud computing refers to storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of a computer's hard drive. It allows users to access applications from anywhere using a web browser. There are several deployment models for cloud computing including private, community, public, virtual private, and hybrid clouds which involve different levels of sharing cloud infrastructure between multiple organizations.

1. What is Cloud Computing?

2.  Simply, Cloud computing or “cloud” is just
another word for “the Internet” or “theWeb.”
 Google’s search engine is a good example of
a cloud computing application.

3.  A much more scalable, cost-effective way to
do something that's not core to a business
but which is critical to their business.
 The browser will be all the desktop software
you need.

4.  Large enterprises are building their own
private clouds.
 IT departments will shrink as users go directly
to the cloud for IT resources.
 Professional services will be bundled with
commodity cloud services.

5. Deployment Models:
 Private cloud - the cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an
organization.
 Community cloud - the cloud infrastructure is shared by several
organizations and supports a specific community.
 Public cloud – the cloud infrastructure is made available to the general
public or a large industry group.
 Virtual private cloud - the cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an
organization, and is virtually partitioned, rather than completely
physically separated, from the larger cloud.
 Hybrid cloud -the cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more
clouds that remain unique entities but are bound together.
