Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like a public utility.

That's how the Wiki says... you have already used these concepts in your day to day life, for example Gmail,Yahoo,You-tube. They don't require server or software. you just need an internet connection. It's getting closer to our day-to-day life, isn't it??. This quote caught my mind 'If you only need milk , would you buy a cow ?',
Simply why don't you go for Milk without having a cow.. in simple words that's what the CLOUD COMPUTING concept is....
Love the quote! Very appropriate. I will remember that when describing cloud computing.
ReplyDeleteIn many ways cloud computing is a rehash of the 70s thin client technology. You had dumb terminals hooked upto a mainframe that did all the work for them. The dumb terminals were simply for input and output. So cloud computing sounds a lot like that.
