Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a term that refers to computer resources and systems
available on demand over the network and which can provide a number of
integrated computer services without being limited to local resources, with the
aim of facilitating the user.

Cloud computing resources
include space for data storage,
backup, and self-synchronization.
They also include software
processing and task scheduling
capabilities. When connected to
the network, the user can control
these resources through an easy
programming interface that
facilitates and ignores many
details and internal operations.

The term cloud computing first came into use in the late 1960s. The term cloud
computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that was often used to represent the
Internet in maps and graphs. As with many other new technologies, it meant
different things to different people. The motivation was Many suppliers are
behind to step up their product range.

Cloud Computing is also defined as: “transferring the processing process from the
user’s device to server devices over the Internet and saving the user’s files there
so that he can access them from anywhere and any device, so that programs
become merely services and the user’s computer is merely an interface or digital
window, and Servers often use virtualization technologies to allow multiple users
to use the same service.
