Cloud Computing - Overview

• The popular trend in today's technology driven world is ‘Cloud Computing’. Cloud computing can be referred to as the storing and accessing of data over the internet rather than your computer's hard drive. This means you don't access the data from either your computer's hard drive or over a dedicated computer network (home or office network). Cloud computing means data is stored at a remote place and is synchronized with other web information.
• One prominent example of cloud computing is Office 365 which allows users to store, access, edit their MS Office documents online (in browser) without installing the actual program on their device.

Architecture of Cloud Computing

• The architecture of cloud computing comprises of the following components −
• Front-end device
• Back-end platform
• Cloud-based delivery
• Network
• Front-end Devices − These are basically the devices that are used by clients to access the data or program using the browser or special applications.
• Back-end Platform − There are various computers, servers, virtual machines, etc. that combine to become a back-end platform.
