What is Cloud Computing ????

Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.

Cloud computing provides computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services.

Types of Computing :That share characteristics with cloud

computing :

1.Autonomic Computing2.Client – Server model3.Grid Computing4.Mainframe Computer5.Utility Computer6.Peer to Peer

Types of cloud computing :

Based on the usage cloud computing is divided into 4 major types. Each of which has their limitations and their area of use. They are as follows :

• Public cloud• Community cloud• Hybrid cloud• Private cloud

Advantages of Cloud Computing :

There are many ways in which the concept of cloud computing  has advantage over the other types of computing .

The five main advantages of cloud computing which have proved very much useful to the mankind over the decade are as follows…

1. Reduced Cost :

Cloud technology is paid incrementally, saving organizations money. 

Organizations can store more data than on private computer systems.

2. Increased Storage :

3. Highly Automated :No longer do IT personnel need to worry

about keeping software up to date.

4. Flexibility :

Cloud computing offers much more flexibility than past computing methods.

5. More Mobility :Employees can access information wherever

they are, rather than having to remain at their desks.

Applications of cloud computing :

The applications of cloud computing are practically limitless. Potentially, everything from generic word processing software to customized computer programs designed for a specific company could work on a cloud computing system.

• Clients would be able to access their applications and data from anywhere at any time.

• Cloud computing gives the companies the option of storing data on someone else's hardware, removing the need for physical space on the front end.

• Google docs is another application of Cloud Computing.

Real Time Applications :

Real time applications of cloud computing includes one of the most widely used concept of Google cloud printing which provides printing on the go.

Another real time application of the cloud computing is the usage of cloud printing by the traffic police to print the challan by using a smartphone.

Conclusion :

Cloud computing is an online form of computing , where a user can access applications via a browser while the application is installed and stored on a server. This is a new form of computing in which thousands of users all around the world can access something without downloading and installing anything on their laptops or personal computers.

Any Queries ???
