What is Cloud Computing?

[StuartSpindlow1]

Hello Friends,

Please tell me what is cloud computing.

[manoharparakh]

Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more—over the Internet (“the cloud”). Companies offering these computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge for cloud computing services based on usage, similar to how you are billed for water or electricity at home.

VPS
Dedicated

A private cloud is a particular model of cloud computing that involves a distinct and secure cloud based environment in which only the specified client can operate.

Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.

cloud computing can be defines as the storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. It goes back to the days of flowcharts and presentations that would represent the gigantic server-farm infrastructure of the Internet as nothing but a puffy, white cumulonimbus cloud, accepting connections and doling out information as it floats.

Everybody

Thanks for this topic, happy hope we also discuss about the topic

Simply saying Cloud meaning Multi data center forming and you are hosted files and data for websites, its viewing data public or client side then easily access your website all data, see that but if you data center having technical issues and down website, at the same time site not down, working from the another data center because cloud host connect multi data centers.

Thanks

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical data centers and servers, you can access technology services, such as computing power, storage, and databases, on an as-needed basis from a cloud provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet.

[matinesds]

In one statement, Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand IT resources over the internet. The companies that offer these computing services are called Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). CSPs charge users/organizations based on Cloud resources used through a variety of billing models. Cloud resources are the resources that are abstracted from the underlying physical hardware with the help of a Hypervisor. But there is a lot of confusion about Cloud computing because there are multiple types of services and deployment models that fall under the umbrella that is Cloud computing. This article will help you clear the basic concepts of Cloud computing.

Cloud Deployment Models
There are 4 types of Cloud deployment models:
Public Cloud
Private Cloud
Hybrid Cloud
Community Cloud
These deployment models differ on the basis of implementation type, hosting type and who has access to it. All Cloud deployment models are based on the same principle of Virtualization (abstraction of resources from bare metal hardware) but differ in terms of location, storage capacity, accessibility, and more. Depending on the type of data you are working with, you will want to compare Public, Private, Hybrid, and Community Clouds in terms of different levels of security they offer and the management required.

Public Cloud
The entire computing infrastructure is located on the premises of the CSP that offers Cloud services over the internet. This is the most economical option for those individuals/organizations that do not wish to invest in IT infrastructure. In a Public Cloud environment, the resources are shared between multiple users who are also called ‘Tenants’ The cost of using Cloud services is determined through the usage of IT resources consumed.

Private Cloud
Individuals/organizations that choose Private Cloud gets dedicated infrastructure that is not shared by any other individual/organization. The security and control level is highest while using a private network. The costs are born by an individual/organization and are not shared with any other individual/organization. Management of Private Cloud is taken care of by the user and the CSP does not provide any Cloud management services.

Hybrid Cloud
This Cloud deployment model includes the characteristics of Public Cloud and Private Cloud. Hybrid Cloud allows the sharing of data and applications between Public and Private Cloud environments. Organizations mainly use Hybrid Cloud when their On-Premise infrastructure needs more scalability, so they make use of scalability on Public Cloud to meet fluctuating business demands. Organizations can keep their sensitive data on their Private Cloud when reaping the power of the Public Cloud.

Community Cloud
A Community Cloud is a Cloud infrastructure that is shared by users of the same industry or by those who have common goals. This Cloud infrastructure is built after understanding the computing needs of a community as there are many factors including compliances and security policies which need to be included in the community Cloud infrastructure.

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. Large clouds often have functions distributed over multiple locations, each location being a data center.

[manoharparakh]

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing solutions-- web servers, storage space, data sources, networking, software program, analytics and more-- online (" the cloud"). Business supplying these computer solutions are called cloud service providers as well as usually fee for cloud computer solutions based upon usage, comparable to just how you are billed for water or power in the house.

Below are a few of things you can do with the cloud:

Produce new applications as well as services
Store, back up and also recover data
Host sites and also blogs
Stream audio and video clip
Provide software program on demand
Analyse information for patterns and make predictions
