Cloud
computing is basically a process through which location independent computing
is made possible. With the help of this different servers that provide
resources and information are consolidated in the form of a cloud with the help
of other associated vital devices along with the facility of electricity grid.
In addition to this the National Institute of
Standards and Technology NIST also provide a more objective definition of the
world cloud in which they say that the world cloud is used in metaphoric sense
which can be applied to the facilities and amenities that are provided to
customers who are utilizing the facility of the internet as with the help of
either of this technology different kinds and natures of network can be linked
directly without the presence of any physical barriers.
Furthermore, typical cloud computing mechanism
involves and produces common business applications online that can easily be
accessed from different kinds of web browsers while the software and data are
stored on servers. Below is a diagrammatic representation of the metaphoric
depiction of the way a cloud computing database can come into formation.
With
such facilities and opportunities standing right at their disposal it was not
hard to believe that web pages that were once static in nature and on web began
to add features that could prove and festoon their web material with the
elements of interactivity. Such a kind of revolution was further catalyzed and
facilitated by the hosted applications provided by e-mail medium of Hotmail.
The
addition of all these features that made their configuration user-friendly led
to the development of a new service which came to be known as Software as a
service or SaaS when abbreviated. As the
accessibility and availability factors of cloud computing became an intrinsic
component of private corporations, all of them spawned to provide their
customers with the benefits that are related to the operations of cloud
computing.
Another
important feature that is worth discussing here is that irrespective of the
nature whether the network of the customer is private or public data is always
an integral part of it. Hence it is essential to believe that for the effective
functioning and operation of cloud computing it is mandatory for it to be
compatible with the database that allows the storage and circulation of
different kinds of data which is being used (Michael, N/A).
