Cloud computing is an approach to information technology that involves over-the-Internet provisioning of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources. This is in contrast to traditional client–server architectures in which applications are distributed across many machines connected by a local area network. Applications can scale outwards by adding more physical servers, so the overall size of the system can grow without concern about whether the additional capacity can be accommodated locally. “Cloud’ is a collective term for large numbers of developments and possibilities. They are not inventions, but rather practical innovations, combining several earlier inventions together into something new and compelling; much like the iPod is made up of several existing concepts and components (the Walkman, mp3 compression, a portable hard drive, etc.). Like the iPod, cloud computing merges several previously available technologies (high speed networks, virtualization, web 2.0 interactivity) into something new and compelling: cloud computing. Cloud computing enables tasks to get assigned to a combination of hardware and software over a network. This combination of hardware and software is called a cloud. Cloud computing can be used to expand and reduce the amount of hardware and software based on demand. An advanced cloud includes additional computing resources such as storage areas networks (SANs), firewalls, and other security devices.
