Abstract: Cloud computing in general can be portrayed as a synonym for distributed computing network over a network, with the ability to run a program or application on many connected computers at the same time. It specifically refers to a computing hardware machine or group of computing hardware machines commonly referred as a server connected through a communication network such as the Internet and Intranet, local area network (LAN) and wide area network(WAN) and individual users or user who have permission to access the server can use the server's processing power for their individual computing needs like to run an application, store data or any other computing need. Therefore, instead of using a personal computer every-time to run the application, the individual can now run the application from anywhere in the world, as the server provides the processing power to the application and the server is also connected to a network via internet or other connection platforms to be accessed from anywhere. All this has become possible due to increasing computer processing power available to human kind with decrease in cost as stated in Moore’s law.
Keywords: Cloud computing.
