Welcome to the Cloud Computing Guide where IT infrastructure as a service is explained.

With many companies now converting their infrastructure over to The Cloud (another name for the internet) it is worth understanding just how this all works and discuss the security issues the new technology faces.

Cloud computing is simply a means of delivering usual IT resources as service.

Rather than having applications and data stored on a server and networked between users, everything is on the cloud. All that is needed to access the cloud is a notebook, laptop or special cloud computer with an internet connection.

Cloud computing is said to help business operations become faster with more flexibility offering economy to networking and IT infrastructure.

Users of cloud computing do not need expertise in the technology of the infrastructure and companies do not need to purchase applications, software etc to store on hardrives or network servers. This is supposedly meant to reduce the cost of companies operations. Cloud computing hosting providers provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on their servers not yours.
