There are varying opinions on what cloud computing means. It can be

the ability to rent one server or hundreds of servers and process a

modelling application on the most powerful systems available. It can be

the ability to rent a single, virtual server, load it with software, turn it

on and off when required, or replicate it many times to meet a sudden

workload demand.

It can be the ability to use applications over the Internet that store and

secure data while providing a service. Cloud computing can be supported

by a provider that will set up a platform that includes the operating

system, web server and database, with the ability to scale automatically in

What characterizes cloud computing from previous models? Quite simply, it is

using information technology as a service. These services are encapsulated,

have application programming interfaces, and are available over a network.

Cloud computing can be provided using an organization's own servers as a

private cloud, or by cloud providers that undertake all risk of infrastructure

ownership. The illusion is of an infinite pool of computing resources.

Cloud computing is taking the information technology world by storm.
