Cloud Computing Services
What is cloud computing service? In telecommunications, cloud computing refers to Internet based computing also known as virtualization, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and devices on-demand in the cloud. The cloud is a reference to the Internet. Business cloud computing services directly contrast with traditional computing as there is no need to install applications or save files to a personal computer. A common example of cloud computing service is Yahoo email or Gmail. Users do not need software or a server to use the email service.
There are several segments associated with business cloud computing services which include the following: (1) applications, (2) platforms and (3) infrastructure. The applications refer to the on-demand software also referred to as Software as a Service (SaaS). There are several forms of payments including subscription fees and licensing. Within cloud computing services, platforms are product offerings used to deploy to the Internet. Active platforms allow the end user to access applications from centralized servers using the Internet. For example, Microsoft's cloud computing platform is Windows Live and Rackspace has cloudservers, cloudsites and cloudfiles. Infrastructure plays a vital role in cloud computing services and is the backbone of the entire concept. Within cloud computing, infrastructure provides the environment necessary to allow users to build applications. Infrastructure also includes storage services for cloud computing.
