What is Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is a general term used to describe a

new class of network based computing that takes place

over the Internet, basically a step on from Utility

Computing.

In other words, this is a collection/group of integrated

and networked hardware, software and Internet

infrastructure (called a platform).
