Reason for Cloud computing popularity and rapid development

Nowadays Cloud computing users is growing in exponential. Because, it has lot of features like Pooled resources, Elasticity, instance startup, On-Demand Computing, self service model, location independence, Multi-tenancy, Reliability, Easy Maintenance and Pay per use Model. And one more main reason is, cloud computing is not a single technology, it’s a group of technology names as cloud computing. Or we can say, Cloud service providers bring lot of new features from other technology and introducing more and more new features along with cloud to beat competitors.

What are all technologies clubbed with Cloud Computing or Underling technologies in Cloud Computing?

Client Server model - Distributed Environment, client request for service, server process the request and send back the result, computing happen in server.

What is Cloud Computing ?

Cloud Computing has become the next big thing in the world of computers. In this blog am going to share the basics of what cloud computing is and where/how it is being used in simple terms.

Now , what is "Cloud Computing ". The basic definition of it can be derived by parsing this term "Cloud Computing" into words as Cloud & Computing.

Cloud:- Generally we use the Cloud symbol to represent the internet- which is a collection of web servers, File server, super computer, printer etc., So some resources will be available somewhere in the network, we can access and make use of it based on the privileges we are holding.

Computing:- It explicitly tells that, computing/processing something on the cloud.
From this we can understand that, the main functionality of cloud computing is, usage of resources over network as a service, on demand basis
We can take Web Server as one of the best example of Cloud Computing. In this, as a user we are sending request to web server, for accessing particular page for certain purpose. The web server recieves our request, and will compute/process that based on the specification we have given and send back response to us. But I have mentioned this example for basic understanding; in reality it is much more than that.
