Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. The concept generally incorporates combinations of the following:
Cloud computing services often provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers.
The core attraction of cloud computing is that companies can avoid buying and running hardware, software and other equipment by contracting with a services vendor to run selected systems or applications on its own infrastructure of virtualized servers. The “services” you purchase are delivered in a standardized, multi-tenancy fashion that observers say will save one-third to one-half of your current costs.
