First, What Is Cloud Computing?

Cloud Computing Is a Form of SaaS

as a Service (SaaS). The majority of these paid or free

SaaS services such as Gmail, Google Docs, Drop Box

and Salesforce.com are rooted on the web with cloud

based technology.

No need to purchase equipment or software

The cloud is made up of a cluster of highlyexpansive, enterprise level web and database servers all interconnected and redundant for achieving 100% uptime.The cloud is mostly a subscription based model. There is no need to invest in specialized equipment or various software packages.

single purpose servers virtually on one physical hardware box.

center equipment by way of consolidation via server

virtualization. Innovative companies started building

systems around hosted consumer based applications giving rise to Google Docs and Salesforce.com.
