The term cloud
computing is used as well as heard very often, but
few of us really know what it’s all about, or what associations does this term has
with the computer world. Let’s make this step by step, from easier to harder,
so that we may understand the concept well.
First of all, imagine e-mailing was not like the way it is
today. This takes us back to centuries when e-mail used to be an application
whose data; the things we use in a mail such as documents, files , messages and
other things were stored safely in a
room. These were the olden days of networking. Now moving
forward, when Google
lime lighted, this e-mailing activity became a bit modernized. The method of
saving the important data transformed as companies like Google started to open
their own servers where this e-mail information could be stored free of charge.
And to access data the use of Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail was
availed. From here we derive that Cloud Computing is all about running
application that are on other people’s servers using either an interface or an
application format.
With
the advent of Cloud Computing the websites and server based apps that were
executed on a specific system are now evolved into an amalgamated configuration
where computers work together in a cloud and various applications then work in
parallel as if they are running on a single system smoothly. Without the need
of any installation it paves the path for consumers and businesses to use
applications and files at any computer with Internet access. Cloud computing
thus stands a technology that uses Internet and servers to maintain data and
applications. Hence in today’s world we can’t imagine the absence of this
innovation as without this we would be unable to store and retrieve information
in an advanced, efficient and authenticated way.

The Cloud Computing model importantly comprises of a
frontend and a backend. These two terms are basically the names given to the
cloud connection that forms in between. Such as the front end is where the user
is interacting with the system; a client computer,
a computer network or the applications use to access the cloud and the backend
is the cloud itself that provides computers, servers, applications and data
storage.
The cloud computing technology includes the following
merits:
·
Efficient storage
·
Inexpensive since all resources are maintained by the service provider
·
Highly reliable
·
Empowers the employees to
become productive
In a nut shell, Cloud Computing
includes a server
and email management software present on the cloud (Internet) that is totally
managed by the cloud service provider Yahoo, Google etc, and the user gets to
use the software alone and enjoy its benefits.
