Every dozen or so years, a revolution changes the way we use
computers. Huge mainframes in the 1960s, minicomputers in the
1970s, personal computers in the 1980s, cell phones and smartphones
in the last decade, and now the emergence of cloud computing.

4. Defining the Cloud
Cloud computing represents a new way to deploy computing technology to give users
the ability to access, work on, share, and store information using the Internet. The cloud
itself is a network of data centers – each composed of many thousands of computers
working together – that can perform the functions of software on a personal or business
computer by providing users access to powerful applications, platforms, and services
delivered over the Internet.
