A Little Information About Cloud Computing.

By Jay Patel


Cloud hosting is a new technology which is complex to understand in micro level, but very easy to understand it's overview. However cloud hosting implementation is difficult by the company, because cloud hosting technology is completely different in which the services are completely virtual unlike in the traditional web hosting.

Cloud hosting makes the computing resources like hardware, software and applications as packages tailored to unique requirements of the business of the clients. And these packages are delivered as services over the network, over the internet. It entrusts remote services to the clients for hosting the websites. And the cloud hosting services are delivered by cluster server-platform. And these servers are load balanced. The data of the websites are stored in a Storage Area Network, acronym as SAN. The web data from the SAN is accessed by the client anywhere in the world and through any device using internet.

Computing cycles are the units to measure the resources and applications used by the client as well as the duration of the time for which the applications are used. This unit indicates the pricing of the services used by the client. Applications, features and tools like testing, building applications, hosting maintenance, network equipment and also the developmental stages are numerous to be chosen by the customer for service.

The way applications are run in various or unique environments are pre-defined as blueprints or formats or templates by the cloud hosting. These blue-prints of applications are referred as self-service portals to be moved to the destination at the client to be served.

The templates consist of all the required technical aspects of cloud configuration to deploy and run the applications. These templates are used to deploy the cloud services with a single button pushed. These templates are also used to create a catalog of cloud services by the web developers.

Cloud hosting makes use of three fundamental models on the basis of infrastructure, Platform and Software. These fundamental models based on Infrastructure, Platform and Software are IassS, PaaS and Saas. To deploy these models again cloud hosting uses different methods of deployment called public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud and community cloud.

The deployment and usage of the services can be done through various kinds of computing devices like iPad, mobile phone, smart phone, laptop or desktop. And this feature called device independence makes the client makes more flexible in using the services.
