 Definition of Cloud Computing

Definition of Cloud Computing
 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines cloud computing as follows:
 Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, 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 interaction with service providers.
 Wikipedia:
 Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and
computing power, without direct active management by the user.

Private cloud: The cloud infrastructure is owned and managed for exclusive use by a single organization.
Public cloud: The cloud infrastructure is owned and managed by a third-party cloud service provider and shared with
multiple organizations using the Internet.
Hybrid cloud: This is a combination of public and private clouds viewed from the outside as a single cloud.
