Introduction Cloud computing is a phrase used to describe a variety o computing concepts that involve a large number o computers connected through a real!time communication net"or# such as the Internet. Cloud computing is a synonym or distributed computing over a net"or#$ and means the ability to run a program or application on many connected computers at the same time. %he term &moving to cloud& also re ers to an organi'ation moving a"ay rom a traditional CAPEX model (buy the dedicated hard"are and depreciate it over a period o time) to the OPEX model (use a shared cloud in rastructure and pay as one uses it). Basically$ there are three types o cloud computing services that you can opt or. %hey are* In rastructure + as + a + service (IaaS)$ so t"are + as + a + service (SaaS) and plat orm + as + a + service (PaaS).

Cloud providers manage the in rastructure and plat orms that run the applications. SaaS is sometimes re erred to as &on!demand so t"are& and is usually priced on a pay!per!use basis.
