Cloud computing is a type of Internet -based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), [1] [2] which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers [3] that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale , similar to a utility (like the electricity grid ) over an electricity network.

Cloud computing , also known as 'on-demand computing', is a kind of Internet-based computing, where shared resources, data and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. [1] [2] Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers . [3] It relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale , similar to a utility (like the electricity grid ) over a network. [4] At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services .

Cloud computing is a recently evolved computing terminology or metaphor based on utility and consumption of computing resources . Cloud computing involves deploying groups of remote servers and software networked that allow centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources. Clouds can be classified as public, private or hybrid . [1] [2]

Cloud computing is a phrase used to describe a variety of computing concepts that involve a large number of computers connected through a real-time communication network such as the Internet . [1] In science, cloud computing is a synonym for distributed computing over a network, and means the ability to run a program or application on many connected computers at the same time. The phrase also more commonly refers to network-based services, which appear to be provided by real server hardware, and are in fact served up by virtual hardware, simulated by software running on one or more real machines. Such virtual servers do not physically exist and can therefore be moved around and scaled up (or down) on the fly without affecting the end user - arguably, rather like a cloud.

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet ). The name comes from the use of a cloud -shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation.

Cloud computing is Internet -based computing , whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand, as with the electricity grid . Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization , service-oriented architecture and utility computing . Details are abstracted from consumers, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. [1]

Cloud computing is Internet - ("cloud-") based development and use of computer technology (" computing "). [1] In concept, it is a paradigm shift whereby details are abstracted from the users who no longer need knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. [2] Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption and delivery model for IT services based on Internet, and it typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet .

Cloud computing is Internet -based ( "cloud" ) development and use of computer technology (" computing "). The cloud is a metaphor for the Internet, based on how it is depicted in computer network diagrams , and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals. [1] It is a style of computing in which IT-related capabilities are provided “ as a service ”, [2] allowing users to access technology-enabled services from the Internet ("in the cloud") [3] without knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them. [4] "Cloud Computing is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and cached temporarily on clients that include desktops, entertainment centers, tablet computers, notebooks, wall computers, handhelds, sensors, monitors, etc." [5]

Cloud computing is a computing paradigm shift where computing is moved away from personal computers or an individual application server to a “cloud” of computers. Users of the cloud only need to be concerned with the computing service being asked for, as the underlying details of how it is achieved are hidden. This method of distributed computing is done through pooling all computer resources together and being managed by software rather than a human.
