Cloud computing is the conveyance of computing as an aid instead of an item, whereby imparted assets, product, and data are furnished to workstations and alternate gadgets as a utility over a system. :-)

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing and storage capacity [1] as a service [2] to a heterogeneous community of end-recipients. The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol[3] as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams[4]. Cloud computing entrusts services with a user's data, software and computation over a network.

There are three types of cloud computing:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
Platform as a Service (PaaS), and
Software as a Service (SaaS).

Traditional hosting servers run applications in a linear design without extensive redundancy or scalability. The traditional method, until now, when hosting a server or web site is to place it on a single computer. Although the hardware on this computer may have some limited redundancy such as a RAID disk drive, it is eventially going to have some form of business disruption from:

Loss of Power
Server Overload
Hardware Failure
Human Error
Software Crash

This type of event could cost your business significantly in lost data, lost time, and lost business.

With cloud hosting solutions, the single point of failure is now replaced by a scalable, on-demand network of computing resources. All hosted in Enterprise grade data centers with redundant ultra-high capacity network connections, on-site generators, precision cooling systems, and green-friendly practices. The single server design model of yesterday is now replaced by sophisticated SAN (Storage Area Network) file servers, multiple clustered HyperVisor virtualization-based systems, and control module nodes that ensure a reliable, always-available experience for your servers and software applications.
