Abstract

Cloud computing is a style of computing in which virtualized and standard resources, software and data are provided as a service over the Internet. Cloud computing is a new method to add capabilities to a computer without licensing new software, investing in new hardware or infrastructure or training new personnel. Applications are purchased, licensed and run over the network instead of users desktop. It provides common business applications online that are that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers. The services are accessible anywhere in the world, with the cloud appearing as a single point of access for all the computing needs of consumers. New advances in processors , virtualization technology, disk storage, broadband internet access and fast, inexpensive servers have all combined to make cloud computing a compelling paradigm. Cloud computing allows users and companies to pay for and use the software and storage that they need, when they need then and as wireless broadband connection options grow, where they need them. This type of software deployment is called Software as a Service (SaaS) . Advantages and Issues Related to Cloud Computing for Web Application There are several advantages to cloud computing and some of them are presented below: Price: It is easy to see that start up enterprise companies do not have to invest huge sums of money into setting up infrastructure such as huge application servers, data servers, database administrators, people resources for managing such critical systems including back up and recovery, etc. Instead, enterprise companies pay for services based on usage. Simplicity: It is simple to use and set up all the services without having to worry about resource management and other hassles that come with infrastructure set up and management.
