Cloud computing provides computation, software applications, data access, data management and storage resources without requiring cloud users to know the location and other details of the computing infrastructure.

End users access cloud based applications through a web browser or a light weight desktop or mobile app while the business software and data are stored on servers at a remote location. Cloud application providers strive to give the same or service and performance as if the software programs were installed locally on end-user computers.

Cloud services give users the ability to take advantage of IT resources over the internet instead of having them on board, or attached to them from storage systems, to physical and virtual servers, and applications. These services can work in conjunction with one another to create robust computing solutions which require nothing more than a single computer with internet access.

There are many benefits of using cloud-computing solutions, including:

■  Power of renting computing resources, which helps users avoid the costs of owning, maintaining, and upgrading their own hardware and software. This is particularly good in situations that require higher levels of computing resources because it reduces the overhead, lowers the risk of technology investment, and gives the user access to a larger selection of tools and technologies.

■  Provides the disaster recovery and backup benefits of geographically distributing computing resources and data.

■  Offers the ability for users to access resources regardless of geographic location, operating system, or device.

■  Cloud computing allows for resources to be added on demand so that companies or individuals can scale their “instances” based on their needs vs. budget

■  Allows for increased data security and integrity by centralizing storage and offering high-level security solutions at lower costs.

Naturally, a public cloud is a service that anyone can tap into with a network connection and a credit card. Public clouds  are shared infrastructures with pay-as-you-go economics. Public clouds are easily accessible, multi-tenant virtualized infrastructures that are managed via a self-service portal.

A private cloud attempts to mimic the delivery models of public cloud vendors but does so entirely within the firewall for the benefit of   an enterprise’s users. A private cloud would be highly virtualized, stringing together mass quantities of IT infrastructure   into one or a few easily managed logical resource pools.

You might say software-as-a-service kicked off the whole push toward cloud computing by demonstrating that IT services could be easily made available over the   Web. While SaaS vendors originally did not use the word cloud to describe their offerings, analysts now consider SaaS to be   one of several subsets of the cloud computing market.

Public cloud services are breaking down into three broad categories: software-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service, and platform-as-a-service. SaaS is well known and consists of software applications delivered over the Web. Infrastructure-as-a-service refers to remotely accessible server and storage capacity, while platform-as-a-service is a compute-and-software platform   that lets developers build and deploy Web applications on a hosted infrastructure.
