What is…

 Cloud Computing is a general term used to describe a new class of network based computing that takes place over the Internet, –A collection of networked hardware, software and Internet infrastructure. –Using the Internet for communication and transport provides hardware, software and networking services to clients or mobile users. –These platforms hide the complexity and details of the underlying infrastructure from users with simple graphical interfaces. What is Cloud Computing

 In addition, the platform provides on demand services, that are always on, anywhere, anytime and any place.  Pay for use and as needed –Scale up and down in capacity and functionality.  The hardware and software services are available to –general public, enterprises, corporations and businesses markets.  Downloadable to mobile computing devices, i.e. phones, tablets, handhelds GPS devices, laptops, etc. What is Cloud Computing?

 Think of Cloud computing like an umbrella used to refer to Internet based services and development  A number of characteristics define cloud data, applications services and infrastructure: –Remotely hosted: Services or data are hosted on remote infrastructure. –Ubiquitous: Services or data are available from anywhere. –Commodity: The result is a utility computing model similar to that of traditional utilities, like gas and electricity - you pay for what you would want! Cloud Summary
