3. Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather
than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers and other devices as
a utility (like the electricity grid) over anetwork (typically
the Internet).[1]
Cloud computing entrusts, typically centalized, services with your
data, software, and computation on a published application
programming interface (API) over a network. It has a lot of
overlap with software as a service (SaaS).
End users access cloud based applications through a web
browser or a light weight desktop or mobile appwhile the
business software and data are stored on servers at a remote
location. Cloud application providers strive to give the same or
better service and performance than if the software programs
were installed locally on end-user computers.
At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of
infrastructure convergence (or Converged Infrastructure)
and shared services.[2] This type of data centre environment
allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster,
with easier manageability and less maintenance, and enables IT
to more rapidly adjust IT resources (such as servers, storage, and
networking) to meet fluctuating and unpredictable business
demand.[3][4]

subscription. $$
