Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the latest buzzwords in the world of information Technology means key to the definition of cloud computing is the “cloud” itself, but, the exactly meaning of the cloud is that clouded cover computing is a set of web based computing resources that deliver on demand information services to users from any location in the world . It is essential to state that this form of computing is very different from service and grid computing. In the IT world, cloud generally refer to the internet, thus cloud computing implies using the internet for all your computing need and also according to user requirement. The purpose of using cloud is that cloud is a large group of interconnected computers. These computers can be personal computers or network servers or they can be public or private. The application and data served by the cloud are available to wide group of users, cross-enterprise and cross-platform. Access is via the internet. Any authorized user can access these documents and different application from any computer over any Internet connection. And, to the user, the technology and

infrastructure behind the cloud is invisible. It is not clear whether cloud services are based on HTTP, HTML, XML, JavaScript or other specific technologies. It might help to examine how one of the pioneers of cloud computing as Google.
