3. Why Cloud Computing?
• Online Computing by network
Everything is connected !!!
• Service itself is more important
Make it possible everything As-A-SERVICE !!!
• Ubiquitous Era
You can do in every device !!!

8. Definition
“Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient,
on-demand network access to a shared pool of
configurable computing resources (e.g., networks,
servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal
management effort or service provider interaction.”
