New Technologies
Cloud Computing-Cloud Computing, refers to the delivery of computing solutions as a service instead of a product. Computing resources are shared and users are able to lease and access the resources on demand. The resources are typically hosted by a vendor who leases the resources to clients by the hour. Cloud computing comes in three "flavors":
1) Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS)-Delivery of the physical infrastructure-storage, servers, Networking facilities as a service.
