TechMaster is the top blogging site in India. In this blog we are going to explain about What is cloud computing? , Benefits of cloud computing, and cloud computing architecture.

The name of Cloud Computing has been heard from 2007-2008 but in 2013 Cloud Computing has become very popular. If we understand its meaning in common language, it means clouds. Cloud computing is a modern technology with you can develop your IT capabilities as per your desire or need of your business and use them anywhere like office, home, or anywhere you want. It provides "as a service" to IT, such as software application, storage, network, infrastructure, etc.

 What is cloud computing?

              Cloud computing is the use of internet-based process and computer applications. It is on-demand availability of computer system & its resources, especially data storage and computing power.

Google apps cloud computing examples of business applications that are provided online and can be accessed using a web browser. Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of It resources(Hardware, Software Applications)through the internet. To understand this concept, let us consider a simple example. Suppose we want to start an IT company, so as a part of the infrastructure, we would require various software and hardware like servers, hard disks, routers, etc.

            Not all businesses can afford high cost IT infrastructure.Cloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage,databases, and a broad set of applications services over the internet. The term cloud comes from network design which was used by the network engineers to represent the locations of different network devices and interconnections. This network design was shaped like a cloud.

 

Cloud Computing Example

YouTube is an excellent example of cloud storage that hosts videos files of millions of users.

Picasa and Flickr which hosts digital photographs of millions of users on its server.

 

Cloud Computing Architecture

Cloud computing architecture consists of many cloud components. It can be divided into two parts are as follows :

1. Front End
2. Back End

 These ends usually connected via the Internet. The next figure shows a view of the cloud computing architecture:

Front end :

Refers to the client part of the front end cloud computing system. It contains interfaces and applications that are required to access cloud computing platforms, For example - To access Gmail,we use browsers

Like Chrome, Firefox, etc.

 Back end :

The back end represents the cloud. This includes all the resources needed to provide cloud computing services. This includes huge data storage, virtual machines, security systems, services, deployment models, servers, etc. It is the responsibility of the back end to provide a security mechanism and traffic control.

 

Benifits of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing gives you the freedom to use the service as needed and pay only for the things you use.

Benefits of Cloud Computing are as follows :

• Cost-saving is the biggest benefit of cloud computing. It helps you to save substantial capital costs as it does not need any physical hardware investments. Also, you do not need trained personnel to maintain the hardware. The buying and managing of equipment are done by the cloud services provider. It allows users to pay for only what they use and according to the demand the charges get increased.
• The file can be worked by opening it anywhere.
• Any size data can be stored online.
• You can use your document while traveling anywhere.
• The file can also be EDIT online.
• You can avail of this facility for free.
• It is very easy to use, it looks like a Computer / Windows Explorer.
• It does not require any additional hardware.
• Files can be accessed simultaneously in mobile, computer, laptop, tablet. 
•  Its biggest advantage is that files of any size can be shared online, there is no file size limit, as you know that the file attachment during email is not more than 10 MB valid. It happens, but in this, you can share any size file online.
• The file can be opened in multiple locations simultaneously.
• In case of computer failure, the file can be easily backed up in any new computer.
• If you are a developer, tester, or IT engineer, you can easily test your experiments through the cloud - without damaging the live environment.
