Cloud Computing in simple

-
Cloud Computing =   Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) + Platform as a Service (PaaS) + Software as a Service (SaaS) Cloud computing, also known as Cloud Technology, Cloud Applications or Cloud-based services. 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. Examples of cloud-based services include customer self-scheduling, data storage, online payment, and accounting software Different Type of Clouds Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)  – Allows users with the services like Virtual servers, Virtual storage, Physical Database, Virtual Network, Physical Network. E.g. Google Storage ,  IBM Cloud Computing ,  Nimbus Platform as a Service (PaaS)  – Provides computational resources via a platform upon which applications and services can be developed and hosted. E.g. Databases, Data Stores,  Force.com ,  Google App Engine ,...
