Cloud Computing
- 2. What is cloud computing ?Is where applications and files are stored on a large, centralized supercomputer or network. The end user accesses his or her files using computers that are more streamlined but less sophisticated than today's typical machines.
- 4. How it worksLocal computers no longer have to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to running applications. The network of computers that make up the cloud handles them instead. Hardware and software demands on the user's side decrease.The only thing the user's computer needs to be able to run is the cloud computing system's interface software, which can be as simple as a Web browser, and the cloud's network takes care of the rest.
- 5. Cloud Computing and youThere's a good chance you've already used some form of cloud computing.If you have an e-mail account with a Web-based e-mail service like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or Gmail, then you've had some experience with cloud computing.Instead of running an e-mail program on your computer, you log in to a Web e-mail account remotely.The software and storage for your account doesn't exist on your computer -- it's on the service's computer cloud.
- 6. Cloud Computing ArchitectureWhen talking about a cloud computing system, it's helpful to divide it into two sections: the front end and the back end.They connect to each other through a network, usually the Internet.The front end is the side the computer user, or client, sees.The back end is the "cloud" section of the system.
- 7. Conclusion Thus cloud computing provide a super-computing power .This cloud of computers extends beyond a single company or enterprise. The applications and data served by the cloud are available to broad group of users, cross-enterprise and cross-platform.
