 e.g. Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail

  

-Instead of running an e-mail program on your computer, you log in to a Web

 on your computer – it’s on the service’s computer cloud.

It has three components

are working next to each other.

3.     Datacenters – It is collection of servers where application is placed and is accessed via Internet.
TYPES OF CLOUDS

PUBLIC CLOUD allows systems and services to be easily accessible to the general public. Public cloud
may be less secured because of its openness, e.g. e-mail

PRIVATE CLOUD allows systems and services to be accessible within an organization. It offers increased
security because of its private nature.

COMMUNITY CLOUD allows systems and services to be accessible by group of organizations.

HYBRID CLOUD is a mixture of public and private cloud. However, the critical activities are performed
using private cloud while the non-critical activities are performed using public cloud.
