ABSTRACT

Modern computing with our laptop or desktop or even with tablets/smartphones using the Internet to access the data and details that we want, which are located/stored at remote places/computers, through the faces of applications like Facebook, e-mail, and YouTube, brings the actual power of information that we need instantaneously within no time. Even if millions of users get connected in this manner, from anywhere in the world, these applications do serve what these users-customers want. This phenomenon of supply of information or any other data and details to all the needy customers, as and when it is asked, is the conceptual understanding and working of what is known as cloud computing. This chapter is devoted to give basic understanding on cloud computing.
