Abstract
Cloud computing is offering utility oriented IT services to users worldwide. It enables hosting of applications from consumer,scientific and business domains.
The concept was born in the 1960s from the ideas of pioneers like J.C.R. Licklider (instrumental in the development of ARPANET) envisioning computation in the form of a global network and John McCarthy (who coined the term “artificial intelligence”) framing computation as a public utility. Some of the first uses included the processing of financial transactions and census data.
Cloud computing is a mechanism that enables management of computing and IT infrastructure to be consolidated in one or more data center to reduce the overall cost of operating computing facilities. Cloud computing is nothing but a computing technology that provides organizational abilities to access software and hardware resources from a virtual space.
This paper on cloud computing deals with working, architecture, components, types and applications.
