What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is an example of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet.[1][2] Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the "cloud" that supports them.[3]



The concept generally incorporates combinations of the following:



Infrastructure as a service (IaaS).

Platform as a service (PaaS).

Software as a service (SaaS).

Other recent (ca. 2007鈥?9)[4][5] technologies that rely on the Internet to satisfy the computing needs of users. Cloud computing services often provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers.

The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on how the Internet is depicted in computer network diagrams and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals
