Introduction
The information technology industry is driving the sector of innovation to a different
level. One of the most important sectors relating to the aspect is the internet, which is one of
the most popular technology in recent times. The concept is reaching a level of globalization
were the data are easily managed and shared anytime and everywhere. Cloud computing can
be considered one of the most important players in the concept due to the factor that it
provides a large area of storage where the data can be stored and retrieved anytime from
anywhere as a service not as a product (Narula & Jain, 2015). The main aim which is related
to the concept of cloud computing is the reduction of the basic infrastructure for example
software, hardware and the complexity which is involved into them. The cloud providers
provide the service based on the pay per use based service. Most of the organization tend to
include the various service which is related to the cloud due to the fact the they
implementation of the concept is not time consuming and the cost which is related to the
concept is very much less.
The focus point of the report is to take into consideration the various aspects which is
related to the cloud computing. The various concept and the issue, which are seen in the
concept, are majorly discussed.
Overview of the technology
The concept of cloud computing evolved from the result of the convergence of the
Grid computing technology. In the late 1990s, high performance computers were connected
with the high-speed communication link for the support of scientific and complex calculation.
The definition of the grid computation mainly states that it is a software and hardware
infrastructure that basically provides which gives consistency, inexpensive and pervasive
access to computation which is high end facilities of computation over the communicational

network. The concept of cloud computing can be considered as a model where machine with
large center of data can be provisioned dynamically, controlled and reconfigured to deliver
the services in a scalable manner. It can be stated as a innovative information technology (IT)
architecture where the concept of virtualization may be playing a dominating role in the field
of computing. There are six characteristics of the concept of cloud computing which are
application programming interface, maintenance, performance, elasticity and scalability.
Reliability, location independency and broad network access.
Relevant technology
There are different type’s relevant technology, which can be included into the
concept, which are Google app engine, amazon web service and Microsoft office 365.
Google app engine: The concept of the Google cloud computing can be considered as one of
the most well-known platform which can be implemented for the concept of developing and
managing different types of web application in the infrastructure which is related to Google.
The maintenance and the development of the application can be considered very easy and the
concept can be considered as a vital step towards the storage sector of data. The Google app
engine consist of large number of phases, which is related to the database service and runtime
environment.
Amazon web service: Amazon cloud service can be considered as a collection of remote
service of computing that can be easily be created with the help of cloud computing. Various
type of customer get the direct benefit from the concept of the AWS such as Smug Mug,
Netflix and lastly the wetransfer. The concept of the amazon web service provide secure,
reliable and very much cheap infrastructure which are used for the concept of retrieving and
storing large amount of data. the user from different parts of the world can make use of the
system by means of running the data on a fully managed procedure and NoSQL database or
