Cloud computing is the provision of all computing resources through the medium of the Internet. Cloud computing is about taking the client server architecture of a computer networking system to an extreme, in terms of scaling and resource sharing. A computer or any mobile device connected to a cloud computing network will have all its data, along with all the processing programs hosted on a remote server farm.
He will access data and use the resources on the cloud computing servers from any terminal connected to them. Just like power is supplied to any region in a power grid, according to demand, so are the resources allocated to terminals in a cloud computing network, based on demand. The 'cloud' in cloud computing essentially stands for the Internet.
Instead of installing programs on your own computer, you can access the same programs as web service applications that are made accessible via a web browser. So, any user can access and save his work or data on the cloud computing server. This provides users with the freedom to access their work from any terminal they choose to work on, which can make a remote connection with the cloud computing server network.
Cloud computing has been made possible because of the increasing high speed connectivity provided by the Internet to remote locations. The power of Internet connectivity has been harnessed to share resources on a cloud computing network. Google is one of the main players in the cloud computing business and it is aggressively promoting this concept across the globe through introduction of its own cloud computing resources.
