The participants were informed that the Cloud computing is the availability of infrastructure (CPU and Memory, Storage and Network Transfer), platforms and applications. The key features of cloud computing include the possibility of quick provisioning, deployment and scaling up or down of the cloud components. This allows the customers to use IT resources over the Internet instead of physically owning them, thereby creating solutions that are robust, cost effective and accessible through one computer with Internet connectivity. The technology allows users to avail computing resources via a rental model, thereby turning the access to IT resources from capital expenditure to operating expenditure. This takes care of issues such as overheads, technological obsolescence and costs involved in bringing a large variety of tools and technologies onboard.
The technology provides business agility by allowing users to increase or decrease their computing resources to meet their needs, budgets and time constraints. Since the cloud model works on shared resources, it allows high levels of data integrity and security arrangements, which may be extended to customers at low charges.
