Cloud computing refers to storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of a local computer's hard drive. It provides users access to servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more through services delivered over the Internet. There are three types of cloud computing: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud computing provides benefits to businesses such as lower costs, increased productivity, more storage capacity, less downtime and decreased overhead. However, concerns regarding reliability, security, effects on jobs, and lack of regulations remain issues.
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user.
Simply, Cloud Computing is storing and accessing programs and data over the internet instead of a computer hard drive.
The cloud is another name of the internet but nothing to do with the hard drive.

This is a lightning presentation given by Nhan Nguyen to our team for the purpose of knowledge sharing in support of our efforts to create a culture of learning.
Cloud comping is one of the booming topic in it department. My presentation will discuss the major points of the cloud computing .So hope you find what you where looking for
The Cloud is a term with a long history in telephony, which has in the past decade, been adopted as a metaphor for internet based services, with a common depiction in network diagrams as a cloud outline.
2. What is cloud computing?
The “cloud” is a metaphor for the amorphous space
that is the Internet, which is often depicted with a
cloud-shaped symbol.
Thus, cloud computing is the practice of Internet-based
computing, where different services, (such as servers
and apps) are regularly stored and accessed through
the Internet.
3. A brief history
The concept of the cloud dates back to the 1950s, when mainframe
computers became accessible via thin clients
The Internet was first referred to/depicted as “the cloud” in 1994
In the ‘90s, telecom companies began using VPN (virtual private
network) services
After the dot-com bubble (1997-2000), Amazon played an integral
part in development of cloud computing by modernizing their data
centers. They launched Amazon Web Service (AWS) in 2006 to offer
cloud computing to external customers
In 2008, Eucalyptus became the first open-source, AWS API-
compatible platform for deploying private clouds. That same year,
OpenNebula became the first open-source software for private and
hybrid clouds
5. Three types of cloud computing:
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS):
Provides users with server, storage and
networking software. Ex: Amazon Web
Service
Platform as a service (PaaS): AKA
middleware. Offers users virtualized
servers and operating systems so that
they can create and run apps. Ex: Google
Apps
Software as a service (SaaS): This is the
one that we interact with most.
Accessible through web browsers, this is
any application that is hosted on a
remote server and accessed through the
Internet. Ex: Netflix
6. Benefits: or how I learned to quit
worrying and love “the cloud”
Just a few examples of how we use the
cloud daily:
Gmail
Facebook/YouTube
Web site hosting companies
Google Docs
The App Store for iPhone
Dropbox
…And it’s only going to continue to
grow as more businesses adapt to the
cloud.
7. Benefits for businesses
Just a few reasons cloud computing is smart for
businesses of any size:
Cost-effective
Increase productivity / aligns with a mobile workforce
More capacity for storage
Less downtime
Decreases overhead
8. Issues and concerns
Reliability
Security
Effects on IT industry/jobs
No current regulations or standards
