What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is a way of delivering IT services to users without the need to buy, install or manage any infrastructure. Get all of your desktops, software, applications and services over a secure network. It is a flexible, enterprise IT environment on a "pay-as-you go" basis.
What is meant by cloud computing? Many people are confused as to exactly what cloud computing is, especially as the term can be used to mean almost anything. Roughly, it describes highly scalable computing resources provided as an external service via the internet or direct fibre links on a pay-as-you-go basis. The cloud is simply a metaphor for the internet, based on the symbol used to represent the worldwide network in computer network diagrams.
Economically, the main appeal of cloud computing is that customers only use what they need, and only pay for what they actually use. Resources are available to be accessed from the cloud at any time, and from any location via the internet or direct fibre connections. There's no need to worry about how things are being maintained behind the scenes - you simply purchase the IT service you require as you would any other utility. Because of this, cloud computing has also been called utility computing, or 'IT on demand'.
Customers don't need to worry about things such as backups, power, cooling, physical security etc.
