Introduction
With traditional desktop computing, we run
copies of software programs on our own
computer. The documents we create are stored
on our own pc.
Although documents can be accessed from
other computers on the network, they can’t be
accessed by computers outside the network.
This is PC-centric.
With cloud computing, the software programs
one use aren’t run from one’s personal
computer, but are rather stored on servers
accessed via the Internet
If a computer crashes, the software is still available
for others to use. Same goes for the documents
one create.
They’re stored on a collection of servers accessed
via the Internet. Anyone with permission can not
only access the documents, but can also edit and
collaborate on those documents in real time.
Unlike traditional computing, this cloud computing
model isn’t PC-centric, it’s document-centric.
What Is Cloud Computing?
The cloud is a large group of interconnected
computers. These computers can be personal
computers or network servers; they can be
public or private.
This cloud of computers extends beyond a single
company or enterprise. The applications and
data served by the cloud are available to broad
group of users, cross-enterprise and cross-
platform.
Access is via the Internet. Any authorized user
can access these docs and apps from any
computer over any Internet connection
