Cloud Computing.. A next generation technology.

Cloud computing has the ability to access software or information that can be delivered on-demand, over the internet, without the need to store it locally.
If you are thinking of building Web application, sooner you will come across some type of cloud computing.

Let’s have a look how it work.

Let’s say you’re an administrator at a large organization. Your responsibilities include making sure that all of your employees have the right hardware and software they need to do their jobs. Buying computers for everyone isn’t enough you also have to purchase software or software licenses to give employees the tools they require. Whenever you have a new hire, you have to buy more software. It’s so stressful.

Cloud computing fulfil this requirement. Let’s have a look on below details.

1) In the personal way, cloud computing means that all of your data storage and all of your applications live somewhere in the cloud rather than on your machine. Once upon a time, you ran an email application on your desktop machine or laptop, and all of your email was stored on your local hard drive. But for the millions of people using GMail or Yahoo mail, their emails exist on a Google or Yahoo server and the application runs in a web browser. You can access your email from anywhere in the world. If you do that same kind of thing with all your documents, photos, songs, etc., then all of your data and all of your applications are in the cloud. You no longer have to worry about backing up your hard drive or losing your machine.

2) You can now do the same kind of thing in the business realm. It used to be that if you wanted to run a large web site, you had to buy server machines, put them in racks in a hosting facility and manage those machines yourself. Now you can go to a place like Google (Google Apps) or Amazon (S3) and use their servers and hard disk space. You don’t have to manage the machines at all, and if you need more capacity it is available almost instantly.
