2. Introduction
Cloud computing is where computing resources
are accessed from a virtual online "cloud" rather
than a local desktop or organizational data centre.
4. Definition
Cloud computing is internet–based
computing, whereby:
shared resources
software
information
are provided to computers and others devices
on demand, like the electricity grid.
5. Background
Reincarnation of centralized data processing
and storage as paralleled by the mainframe.
A mainframe (also known as Big Iron) is:
A large computer
Used by large organization
Used for bulk data processing
6. Background
A large network of computers.
Used by large organizations to provide
services to smaller ones and individuals.
Used for bulk data processing.
Synonyms: Grid Computing, SaaS, Network
Computing, Utility Computing.
