Research Area: Cloud Computing
A computers operating system, applications and data are typically installed and stored in the traditional computing environment. In a cloud computing environment, individuals and businesses work with applications and data stored and/or maintained on shared machines in a web-based environment rather than physically located in the home of a user or a corporate environment. Lew Tucker, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Cloud Computing at Sun Microsystems,explained that cloud computing is the movement of application services onto the Internet and the increased use of the Internet to access a wide variety of services traditionally originating from within a companys data center (Creeger 2009: 52). For example, web-based applications such as Googles Gmail can be accessed in real time from an Internet-connected machine anywhere in the world.
