Cloud computing is the the use of various services, such as software development platforms, servers, storage and software, over the internet, often referred to as the “cloud.” In general, there are three cloud computing characteristics that are common among all cloud-computing vendors:
- The back-end of the application (especially hardware) is completely managed by a cloud vendor.
- A user only pays for services used (memory, processing time and bandwidth, etc.).
- Services are scalable
Many cloud computing advancements are closely related to virtualization. The ability to pay on demand and scale quickly is largely a result of cloud computing vendors being able to pool resources that may be divided among multiple clients. It is common to categorize cloud computing services as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Software as a Service (SaaS). Benefits of Cloud Computing All data is stored on the server centrally One of the advantages of cloud technology is that it allows users to store data centrally on a single server based on the services provided by the Cloud Computing service provider itself. Thus, users no longer need to provide infrastructure such as data centers, storage media / storage etc because all has been available virtually.Data Security The security of user data can be stored securely via servers provided by Cloud Computing service providers such as technology platform guarantees, ISO guarantees, personal data,etc. Flexibilityand high scalability Cloud technology offers flexibility with easy data access, when and wherever we are on the record that the user (user) connected to the internet. In addition, users can easily increase or decrease data storage capacity without the need to purchase additional equipment such as hard drives. Long term investment Cost savings on inventory purchases such as infrastructure, hard drives, etc. will decrease as users will be charged a monthly compensation fee according to the agreed service plan with Cloud Computing service providers. The royalty fees for software licenses can also be reduced because everything has been run through Cloud-based computing. Cloud computing has been in existence in some form or the other since the beginning of computing. However, the advent of vastly improved software, hardware and communication technologies has given special meaning to the term cloud computing and opened up a world of possibilities. It is possible today to start an ecommerce or related company without investing in datacenters. This has turned out to be very beneficial to startups and smaller companies that want to test the efficacy of their idea before making any investment in expensive hardware. Corporations like Amazon, SalesForce.com, Google, IBM, Sun Microsystems, and many more are offering or planning to offer these infrastructure services in one form or another.(cont.) An ecosystem has already been created and going by the investment and enthusiasm in this space the ecosystem is bound to grow. This thesis tries to define and explain the fundamentals of cloud computing. It looks at the technical aspects of this industry and the kind of applications where cloud can be used. It also looks at the economic value created by the platform, the network externalities, its effect on traditional software companies and their reaction to this technology.
