The Classification of Clouds The scientific study of clouds began in 1803 when Luke Howard‚ a British pharmacist and amateur meteorologist‚ introduced the first system for classifying clouds. Although many other procedures for cloud classification have been devised over the years‚ Howard’s system is so simple and effective that it is still in use today. It is based on the shape‚ distribution‚ and altitude of clouds. He identified ten different categories‚ but they are all variations of three

These days "cloud computing" is the buzzword used to describe the direction in which information network infrastructure seems to be leaning towards. The authors reasoned that cloud computing sprouted from grid computing‚ distributed computing‚ and parallel computing‚ which resonated with the works of Foster‚ Zhao‚ Raicu‚ & Lu‚ 2008 [1]. And like many‚ they found it a challenge to provide an encompassing definition for cloud computing. Foster et al. defined cloud computing as‚ “A large-scale distributed

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. It is a paradigm shift following the shift from mainframe to client-server that preceded it in the early ’80s. Details are abstracted from the users who no longer have need of‚ expertise in‚ or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.[1] Cloud computing describes a new supplement‚ consumption

Type of Cloud Computing Cloud Computing can be divided by two main criteria. The first criterion is service models‚ and another criterion is deployment models. Service Models For service model criterion‚ cloud computing can be divided into three types which are software as a service (SaaS)‚ platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS) The first service model‚ software as a service‚ likes an online application.
