What is Cloud Computing?

  Ans:

"Cloud computing is a new approach that reduces IT complexity by leveraging the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure, consumed as a service"

A film spotlighting the aspects of using cloud storage that should be addressed by users for data and personal security. Cloud Computing is the internet-based storage for files, applications, and infrastructure. One could say cloud computing has been around for many years, but now a company may buy or rent space for their daily operations. The cost savings in implementing a cloud system is substantial, and the pricing for use of cloud computing can easily be scaled up or down as determined by necessity.

According to Wikipedia:

“Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resource, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.”

Generally speaking, cloud computing can be thought of as anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. According to NIST Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
