Document Summary

The theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It involves the study of algorithms that process, store, and communicate digital information". Cloud computing - internet based computing that uses a network of remote (web) servers hosted on the internet to process shared resources and data to computers and other devices on demand. Measured service - pay only for what you use. Elasticity/scalability - can expand use during specific busy times of year (for example christmas/winter holidays) - pay only for what you use (like a utility bill but in a computer) Resource pooling - allows for collaboration and access from any internet connection. Storage of data/applications on web servers = on-demand access to apps (google/ Cloud computing services: software as a service (saas) applications (or web services) Ex: google docs, ms-office 365, dropbox: platform as a service (paas) offers components for users to build apps -
