What is Cloud Computing Company ?
From a user's point of view, a good cloud computing definition is using web applications and/or server services that you pay to access rather than software or hardware that you buy and install.
It might be more accurate, however, when asked, "What is cloud computing?" to define cloud computing as computer services delivered via the Internet, as cloud computing encompasses more than web applications and data storage.
There are three categories of cloud computing:
  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS) and
  • Software as a Service (SaaS).
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides the user with virtual infrastructure, such as servers and data storage space. This is where virtualization fits into the cloud.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides the user with development environment services where the user can create and run home-grown applications.
Software as a Service (SaaS) provides the user with access to already created applications that are operating in the cloud.
