Summary/Abstract: Cloud computing is a paradigm of information technology that describes the provision of IT infrastructure such as storage space or application software as a service over the Internet. In technical terms, it describes access to IT infrastructure available over a computer network without the need to install on a personal computer. Cloud computing allows users to focus on their core business instead of spending money on computing infrastructure and maintenance. Proponents note that cloud computing allows companies to avoid or minimize infrastructure costs. Proponents also argue that cloud computing allows companies to test their applications faster, improved manageability and less maintenance, and that it allows these IT teams to more quickly tailor resources to fluctuating and unpredictable requirements. Cloud computing is a paradigm of information technology (IT) that describes the provision of IT infrastructure such as storage space or application software as a service over the Internet. It can be explained as a technology that enables the use of various IT services on physically remote servers with the help of network infrastructure and appropriate Internet protocols. This type of computing provides an opportunity to reduce the initial investment in equipment and applications and to adapt them to our needs in a quick and easy way. Also, in this way, the IT sector can more easily and quickly control applications and respond to increasing and often unpredictable business demands. Every few years, a new technology appears that almost completely changes the way we worked until then. It is quite certain that cloud computing is a technology of that kind that is yet to reach its peak of development. In technical terms, cloud computing describes access to IT infrastructure available over a computer network without the need to install it on a personal computer. Cloud computing has found its application in practice. The basic scientific evidence for this is everyday application in different situations.
