How to define Cloud Computing in simple language
Cloud computing is a new form of computing which is quickly gaining lots of momentum. This computing involves storing data on the server and accessing it from a remote host. The term cloud is a metaphor for the internet. The data is stored in the cloud and accessed by the users after proper authentication. This helps prevent memory problems and clears the devices from storing large amounts of data and managing this data on a particular system. The information is thus readily available and is not dependent on the machine one uses. It also helps prevent the use and trouble of having a storage device. One can easily store documents, pictures, videos and a lot more in the cloud and not worry about it. The data are managed by the organization responsible for its maintenance.
