Abstract

Cloud computing is defined as an architecture which provides computing services by the use of internet on demand and we pay per use on having the access to a pool of shared resources like storage, servers, applications, services and networks and there is no need to physically possess them. So by this the time of the organizations and the cost for managing can be saved. The organizations and some of the industries like education, healthcare and banking are shifting towards the cloud as the services which are offered by the pay-per-use pattern which are based on the resources such as bandwidth consumed, amount of data transferred, processing power or the amount of storage space occupied etc are more efficient. Cloud services are delivered by data centres which are located all over the world. Cloud computing is a totally internet dependent technology in which the client data is stored and is maintained in the data centres of the cloud provider like Amazon, Google and Microsoft etc.
