Cloud Computing

I think cloud computing has to do with delivering services over the internet. It can also pertain to storing information anywhere on a server but doesn’t involve software. It is a way of getting things accomplished without having to be bothered with all the papers and documents in person, instead it’s all online. Cloud computing is a way to change the relationship of how technology and end users work with one another. The Epic site states ,”The further users are away from the underlying technology that they rely upon, the more dependent the relations may become.” I found that most interesting because people become reliable on a technology in order to advance. It goes to say that people tend to use whatever it takes to get what they want. The Network World mentions that cloud computting has factors that make it so reliable today and they are the virtualization and service-oriented architects, standardization on accommodations of technologies, and over all the internet growth.

A few benefits of cloud computing are that the services become available to the consumer without materials, so it’s internet based. Also, services begin to become cheaper to the consumer based on the access of such not being limited. Just as expressed on the sites, individuals have a different perception on cloud computing. It can be viewed on different levels.I honestly still am sort of confused on cloud computting levels, but I feel as time progresses I will gain the knowledge to completely understand the difference in the individual level and the global one.
