Cloud computing.....

Hey guy’s, I am going to tell about the cloud computing.

Moving to the cloud. Running in the cloud. Stored in the cloud. Accessed from the cloud: these days
is seems like everything is happening “in the cloud”. But what exactly is this nebulous concept?

The short answer is that it's somewhere at the other end of your internet connection – a place
where you can access apps and services, and where your data can be stored securely.

The cloud is a big deal for three reasons:

1) It doesn't need any effort on your part to maintain or manage it.

2) It's effectively infinite in size, so you don't need to worry about it running out of capacity.
3) You can access cloud-based applications and services from anywhere – all you need is a
device with an Internet connection.

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing
resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.The origin of the term cloud
computing is unclear.the word cloud was used as a metaphor for the Internet and a standardized
cloud-like shape was used to denote a network on telephony schematics.

 History of Cloud Computing

The Internet has its roots in the 1960s, but it wasn't until the early 1990s that it had any relevance
for businesses. The World Wide Web was born in 1991, and in 1993 a web browser called Mosaic
was released that allowed users to view web pages that included graphics as well as text. This
heralded the first company web sites – and not surprisingly, most of these belonged to companies
involved in computing and technology.

and Since 2000, cloud computing has come into existence. In early 2008, NASA's OpenNebula,
enhanced in the RESERVOIR European Commission-funded project, became the first open-source
software for deploying private and hybrid clouds, and for the federation of clouds.

the cloud has grown and grown: in 2013 worldwide spending on cloud servicets ran to an estimated
$47 billion. And that's set to more than double to over $108 billion by 2017 as companies invest in
cloud services as the foundation for new, competitive offerings.

 How cloud computing works

The cloud computing works with a cloud app, you just open a browser, log in, and start working.
That means a field sales representative using cloud-based CRM can get all the information they
need from their mobile device. Contact notes can be updated in real time

So, they are always fresh and complete and available to others – no more waiting to get back to
the office to type it in. And sales managers know exactly which deals will close and when, from
their desktop machines in their offices, or their tablets or phones when they are out and about.
 And this all happens without any hardware to buy and manage, or software to install and
update. That's because the hardware and software required is all the responsibility of the cloud
company that runs the app.

 You can run all kinds of apps in the cloud:

1) Create and collaborate on documents and spreadsheets with Google Apps for Business;
2) Video conference with your colleagues on Skype;
3) Manage your Sales & Customer Service functions, alongside other key business
processes on App Cloud.

You can even build your own social, mobile and real-time employee apps and run them in the cloud.

 Working of cloud computing:

 Who uses the cloud?

Without the cloud, life would be very different. It's become so integral to our everyday lives
that most people use it without even realising. In fact for many people life without the cloud
would be unthinkable: without it there would be no Facebook, no Twitter, no Gmail, and no
Spotify.

The cloud has transformed the business landscape too. Today millions of organisations
around the world rely on cloud services for everything from document creation and backup
to social CRM and accounts, and just about every application imaginable in between:

1) Companies with over 25,000 employees use an average of 545 cloud apps or services;
2) Over 1.2 billion people around the world use Facebook;
3) Over half of all Internet users rely on cloud-based email services like Gmail and Yahoo!
Mail to send and receive their messages.
  What's so great about the cloud?
There are some important reasons why the cloud is swift and global.

1) FAST IMPLEMENTATION:-

If you've ever been involved in the implementation of a new application you'll know it can
take months or even years to get it up and running. But with a cloud-based application you
can cut through this complexity.

2) NO UP-FRONT COSTS:-

Implementing a new application used to mean considerable capital expenditure in new equipment –
not to mention the cost of licenses, integration and the inevitable consultants – but with cloud
software these capital expenditure costs are dramatically reduced or even completely eliminated.

3) INSTANT SCALABILITY:-

With cloud-based applications you can increase or decrease the number of users as your needs
change over time. That means you pay only for what you need, and you never have to worry about
running out of capacity.

4) MAINTENANCE FREE:-

Patching, upgrading and testing applications can take up days of your IT staff's time every month,
but with cloud applications none of this is necessary.

That's because it's all handled in the cloud, leaving your staff with more time to work on new
projects and innovations.

5) ACCESS ANYWHERE:-

Cloud applications are designed to be accessed securely from anywhere and from any device.

6) BETTER SECURITY:-

Companies lose an average of 263 laptops a year, a 2010 study found, and if they contain
confidential data then each loss has serious security implications.But with cloud

applications your data is stored securely in the cloud, so a stray laptop is just an inconvenience, not a
potential disaster.

So ,you might be known about “cloud computing”
