Cloud Types Common cloud classifications Clouds are classified into a system that uses Latin words to describe the appearance of clouds as seen by an observer on the ground. The table below summarizes the four principal components of this classification system (Ahrens‚ 1994). Latin Root | | Translation | | Example | cumulus stratus cirrus nimbus | | heap layer curl of hair rain | | fair weather cumulus altostratus cirrus cumulonimbus | Further classification identifies clouds

History of Cloud Computing The term “cloud computing” was most probably derived from the diagrams of clouds used to represent the Internet in textbooks. The concept was derived from telecommunications companies who made a radical shift from point-to-point data circuits to Virtual Private Network (VPN) services in the 1990s. By optimizing resource utilization through load balancing‚ they could get their work done more efficiently and inexpensively. The first time the term was used in its current

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.

Part A: Cloud Computing What is cloud computing? Cloud computing allows people to log into a web based service which hosts applications‚ programs or document. Imagine your job at a big corporation is to make sure every single computer in the company has the right software to work. Buying applications and programs for every single computer can be costly. Cloud computing solves that problem. You’d only have to install one application to ensure the employees can access to the “cloud”. The “cloud”
