Cloud Computing is one of the current technology that relies on the sharing of the resources for the economy of scale.
Cloud computing is Internet-based computing in which large groups of remote servers are networked to allow sharing of data-processing tasks, centralized data storage, and online access to computer services or resources.
Classification
Clouds can be classified as public, private or hybrid. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just the cloud, also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. For example, a cloud computing facility that serves European users during European business hours with a specific application may reallocate the same resources to serve North American users during North America business hours with a different application. This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, Rackspace, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications.
The term moving to the cloud also refers to an organization moving away from a traditional CAPEX model to the OPEX model. The origin of the term cloud computing is unclear. The expression cloud is commonly used in science to describe a large agglomeration of objects that visually appear from a distance as a cloud and describes any set of things whose details are not inspected further in a given context. In analogy to above usage, the word cloud was used as a metaphor for the Internet and a standardized cloud-like shape was used to denote a network on telephony schematics and later to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams.
