Definition Of Cloud Computing:


It is a representation of a shared collection of configurable computing resources to end users. End users use these resources for their own business purpose. Some of the computing resources are networks, data, servers and related services.

Moreover user doesn't have anything to do with technical specifications from where he is using cloud services. Almost the same concepts as you use something and pay the rent of it regardless any details about the provider.

Cloud providers have all the necessary resources that are required to provide cloud services to users. Some of the sources are operating system, eMail system, file storage system, accounting system. security services, encryption resources and backup sources. They allow users to use these resources as per business requirements and provide a convenient environment.

As far as operating system is concerned, generally they provide Microsoft Windows Server or Linux server (multi-core processors). These are the mostly used operating systems of all. For eMail services, cloud providers use Microsoft Exchange with Microsoft Outlook Clients for Windows based services and other email systems for Linux. File storage systems are mostly Microsoft Windows File Server and Linux File Server with Active Directory User Privileges.

Now talking about encryption resources, cloud providers use Private VPN with Cloud Servers. Here all files of end users are encrypted where stored. Moreover 24x7 helpdesk for users is a major benefit a user can get from cloud providers apart from these shared resources.
