Cloud computing is the delivery of computing products and operations as a service rather than a purchased product.
Cloud computing can be a paid service or free depending on where the user acquires the service. Business users will usually utilise a paid managed service from a reputable supplier.
Cloud Computing uses software stored on a remote server that is in principle accessable 24/7. Cloud Computing also encapsulates Cloud Backup which is the backing up of a local computer onto a remote server at regular intervals, using software provided by the service provider.
The cost of shared data storage has in recent years fallen so dramatically that it can be very cost-effective for a user with small or large amounts of data to backup using a Cloud backup service provider.
This means that instead of purchasing software for use on a local machine, the user will effectively rent software running on a remote server.
The cloud is effectively the Internet and cloud computing is the term applied to the user putting data into the Internet as opposed to on a PC or local server.
A cloud services provider is a third-party company providing access to a server together with the appropriate software allowing the user to store data on this server.
Cloud computing is effectively a marketing term for organisations that provide, software, data access, computation processing and backup services to end users who do not require knowledge of the physical location or configuration of the system that actually delivers the service or product.
Any form of remote backup can be encapsulated in the term Cloud Computing this could include the use of free server space e.g. Google documents, Flickr, and paid services via Amazon or one of the many providers offering online backup services.
Cloud backup is a service provided by an organisation, providing access to a remote server using a browser-based software or software downloaded onto the local machine. The actual storage and backup of data is carried out online and the data is kept in a secure location on this remote server.
As hard disk space becomes cheaper and cheaper it is now a viable option for the small business owner and home computer owner to store their data, pictures, videos in a remote location and being backed up on a regular basis.
The latest mobile phones and tablet devices open the doors to new opportunities using the cloud as these devices all potentially have access to stored data dependent on the service selected. クラウド
