We have all been aware of cloud computing for a few year now and for my part I didn't think much of it . I used it ... well more like tried it as a storage ... Because well I thought that it was just good for that . Turn out it's much more than that . for those that are not familiar with cloud computing here is the definition : Cloud computing, often referred to as simply “The Cloud,” is the delivery of on-demand computing resources—everything from applications to data centers—over the Internet on a pay-for-use basis.

There are 3 type of clouds . First :Private Cloud , witch is a cloud that provide there services to client companies and groups .It is available to a certain clientele.

Second :Public Cloud , now these Cloud are made by companies that throws there products at you !You can use Software and have access to Databases . With this kind of cloud you don't have to have programs like Microsoft Office ,or other program like that , you use there applications .

Third : The Hybrid Cloud ,basically it the union of the 2 type of Clouds , some of the private Cloud need some product they don't have and join with a public Cloud sharing resources .

New big building has been erected for Cloud services , they are build to eliminate the need to connect multiple computer on the internet to form a cloud . IBM will Help China to build one of such building witch will be as big as the Pentagon in Washington DC .

Some people went as far as saying that Cloud computing will cause PC downfall . Cloud could be accessed from a Smartphone or Tablets and actually there are more Smartphones in the word today that there are PCs . So in all "The Cloud " Might be the best investment for future.Like the next "Google"or the next "Microsoft" . The next big thing .

It's something to think about .
