Cloud Computing

What cloud computing is not about is your hard drive. When you store data on or run programs from the hard drive, that’s called local storage and computing. Everything that you require is tangibly close to you, that means accessing your data is fast and easy, for that one computer, or others on the local network. Computer industry has been working excessively on hard drive for years.

The cloud is also not about having a committed network-attached storage hardware or server in residence. The cloud allows us to work from any location as long as they have an internet-connected device. For it to be considered “cloud computing,” you need to access your data or your programs over the Internet, or at the very least, have that data integration with other information online. In a huge enterprise, you may know everything about what’s on the other side of the connection; as an individual user, you may no clue what kind of massive data-processing is happening on the other side . The result is the same: with an internet connection, computing can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
