Abstract: Cloud computing is referred to as simply “the cloud,” and is the delivery of virtual resources on -demand,
everything from applications to data centers is done over the Internet on a pay-for-use basis. All the resources virtually
pooled in the Cloud are offered to the customers as a service on demand basis. Cloud computing is Internet based
development and use of Information/computer technology whereby dynamically scalable and often computing resources are
provided as a service through the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of expertise in, or control over the technology
infrastructure in the cloud that supports them. This paper presents the various services offered by the Cloud Computing. The
services of the cloud computing PaaS, SaaS and IaaS are important basic services, along which some other services of the
cloud computing are also presented.
Keywords: Cloud Computing, pay- for-use, virtual resource, Data Centers, PaaS, SaaS, Iass.
I. INTRODUCTION
The definition of the Cloud Computing is broad enough to cover everything such as web search and photo sharing to social
networking etc. Perhaps the key point is simply that cloud computing resources should be accessible by the customers/end users
anytime, anywhere, and from any platform over internet on pay-for-use basis. Broadly, the cloud can be described as on-
demand computing, fix anyone with a network connection. Access to applications and data anywhere, anytime from any device
is the potential outcome.
The cloud refers to wide – area networks, generally the intent from which remote computing resources are shared as shown
in the Fig 1.1. The cloud reduces costs and complexity and provides scalability. The biggest advantage that the cloud brings is
to reduce costs and improve efficiency. An institution can rely on the ‘pay-as-you-go’ characteristic of the three pillars of cloud:
PaaS and Saas. Ease of maintenance increase efficiency as the pain of maintaining the software is now shifted to the cloud
service provider.
