What is Cloud Computing?
A simple definition is that cloud computing is a broad term used to describe technology services delivered over the internet. Now considering how everything else is in the technology industry, cloud computing is a bit more involved than that.
Cloud computing is a broad term which covers a number of variations of technology:
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Applications are hosted by vendors and delivered to customers over the internet. This is the most mature type of the cloud computing technologies. Some SaaS providers have been around for more than a decade.
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) as Public Cloud
Businesses access services that are run by third party suppliers which they then pay a subscription for. Google Apps and Salesforce.com are both examples of this.
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) as Private Cloud
When businesses take advantage of technology pioneered by cloud computing vendors to modernize their own internal servers or datacenter. This is possible by combining virtualization and automation.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
a set of services hosted by vendors on which companies are able to develop and host applications. Microsoft describes its Windows Azure technology as a platform as a service because, unlike infrastructure as a service, it has an integrated software layer on which applications developed using Java, .NET, PHP and XML, among others, can run.

Google’s web-based messaging and collaboration apps require no hardware or software and need minimal administration, creating tremendous time and cost savings for businesses. End users can use the familiar Microsoft Outlook interface for email, contacts and calendar as they transition to Gmail and Google Calendar. Additionally, a leading research firm found that G-Suite is as little as 1/3 the total cost of competing solutions.
