Cloud Computing is defined as storing and accessing of data and computing services over the internet. It doesn't store any data on your personal computer. It is the on-demand availability of computer services like servers, data storage, networking, databases, etc. The main purpose of cloud computing is to give access to data centers to many users. Users can also access data from a remote server.

The term “Cloud” came from a network design that was used by network engineers to represent the location of various network devices and there inter-connection.  The shape of this network design was like a cloud.

Cloud computing decreases the hardware and software demand from the user’s side. The only thing that user must be able to run is the cloud computing systems interface software, which can be as simple as Web browser, and the Cloud network takes care of the rest. We all have experienced cloud computing at some instant of time, some of the popular cloud services we have used or we are still using are mail services like gmail, hotmail or yahoo etc.

In this Cloud Computing video course, you will learn: 

Types of Clouds

Cloud Computing Services

Cloud Computing Architecture

Virtualization and Cloud Computing:

Grid Computing Vs Cloud Computing

Grid Computing and Utility Computing

Security concerns and proposed security model for future cloud computing

Privacy Concern

 

 

Course/Topic - Cloud Computing Basics - all lectures

  • In this lecture session we learn about cloud computing, which means storing and accessing data over the internet instead of a hard disk. It is defined as a service that provides users to work over the internet.

    • 38:26
  • In this lecture session we learn about cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.

    • 30:33
  • In this lecture session we learn about Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the internet. These services are divided into three main categories or types of cloud computing.

    • 33:14
  • In this tutorial we learn about the importance of cloud computing can be found in using services like Google Drive and Apple iCloud. The use of these services allows documents, contacts, pictures, and a whole lot more online.
