IIHT Partners with Microsoft to launch Learning programs on Cloud
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a network. Parallels to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid, wherein end-users consume power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service. The 3 most important services popularly provided among others by Cloud are SaaS (Software as a Service), IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service)
The concept of cloud computing fills a perpetual need of IT: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities.

The award-winning opera Computing Venus (2024) provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of astronomer Maria Mitchell (1818–1889), a groundbreaking historical figure who paved the way for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) in America. Two years later, she became one of the first women to work for the federal government as an astronomer, when she was hired to calculate the positions of Venus in the heavens for the U.S. Nautical Almanac Office. From 1865 on, Mitchell focused on cultivating the next generation of women astronomers as the first female professor of astronomy at Vassar College. By the 1870s, however, Mitchell saw a growing backlash against women in science. Focusing on Mitchell’s struggles against shifting public opinion, Computing Venus highlights one woman’s efforts to ensure a lasting scientific legacy, even as movements outside her classroom threatened to close the world of science to women forever.
