Platform Users Provides information about cloud computing, grid computing , distributed computing and cluster computing platforms

I was brooding about the features that our systems provide us for doing our work, then I finally thought why I'm paying for many of them, still I'm really not using them, why should I pay for that? Do you agree?

Then I recall the word cloud computing, it's primarily based on the non capital spending of the services that we do not use. Our consumption is billed out of our application or subscription of the services that we consume.

At one time, computer would have all the information it ever required, and ever would need, stored on inside it. If you wanted to put more info on it, you used physical media, for example CDs and Floppy disks.

This is now being replaced by the Net. If you want a data, then simply download it from the web. You never need to cope with a physical disk to install, use and dump a program. We now even send info the other way; storing things on the Net, using services like Web mail and online applications like Google Docs and Scribd. You will have heard the 'cloud computing' phrase attached to all this.

Information technology news and articles have been talking about cloud computing almost constantly for the past few years.
