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.
This beast was lurking in the laptop along with a lot of dust - so I think it's time to get back into action on the photo front again.
I still haven't got used to standing on one leg yet so uploads may be a bit erratic!
