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
