What is Cloud

       In one word using someone else’s computer over network 🙂 , Yes you heard me right Instead of
maintaining physical server , Dedicated internet line etc.. we are renting someone’s computer over network.
Cloud is mainly divided into three main parts.
1)Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS)
2)Platform as a Service (PAAS)
3)Software as a Service (SAAS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS)
                If we want to rent only hardware like RAM,Processor, Hard disk , GPU etc.. then we will called it
IAAS
Platform as a Service (PAAS)
             If we want to rent a hardware along with Operating System like Linux , Windows then we will called
it PAAS
Software as a Service(SAAS)
                If we want to use any software/application which is already defined by someone in the cloud then we
will called it SAAS. eg:Salesforce,RightNow,Workday etc…
