What is Cloud Computing?
The term cloud refers to a network or the internet. It is a
technology that uses remote servers on the internet to store, manage, and
access data online rather than on local drives. The data can be anything such as
files, images, documents, audio, video, and more.
There are the following operations that we can do using cloud
computing:
- Developing new
applications and services
- Storage, backup, and recovery of data
- Hosting blogs
and websites
- Delivery of
software on demand
- Analysis of
data
- Streaming
videos and audio
Why Cloud Computing?
Small as well as large IT companies, follow the traditional
methods to provide the IT infrastructure. That means for any IT
company, we need a Server Room which is the basic need of IT companies.
In that server room, there should be a database server, mail
server, networking, firewalls, routers, modem, switches, QPS (Query Per Second
means how much queries or load will be handled by the server), configurable
system, high net speed, and the maintenance engineers.
To establish such an IT infrastructure, we need to spend lots of money. To overcome all these problems and to reduce the IT infrastructure cost, Cloud Computing comes into existence.
