Cloud Computing - A Birds Eye View

Cloud computing is an internet computing model where data is stored on servers that are on the Internet and temporarily cached on the clients' computing devices such as: desktop computers, laptops, hand-held mobile devices, etc. In a cloud computing architecture, all the applications are not stored in a company�s hard disk, rather it resides in a third party computer. Cloud computing involves the supply of on-demand IT computing functions and utilities that are delivered from third party platforms as a service. On demand services and components include: software-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, and storage-as-a-service. Cloud computing is scaling investment value with growing population and provides security for the stored information.
