Cloud Computing: Accessing Applications Online By: Raymond Steinmetz

Cloud computing provides shared resources, software, and information over the internet on demand, similar to an electricity grid. It involves programs and data being stored in data centers around the world, with users accessing them without knowing or caring where they are physically located. The document provides definitions of cloud computing and contrasts it with traditional mainframe and client-server models, then gives examples of how cloud computing is used for applications, email, games, and storage. It also outlines benefits of cloud computing for education, such as low cost technologies, growing online content, and collaboration tools.

Accessing Applications Online


By: Raymond Steinmetz
“Cloud Computing is Internet-based computing,
whereby shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers and other
devices on demand, like the electricity grid.”
Wikipedia

“The idea of cloud computing is that there's a


world of computers sitting in data centers,
scattered around the world. The programs that
you run, the data that you store, are somewhere
out there - but you don't know where, and more
importantly, you don't care where.”
