Cloud computing in this day and age

Cloud computing is web based computing, whereby mutual resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the power grid.

Cloud Storage is a model of web based computer data storage where data is kept on different cloud servers.

These are generally hosted by third parties, rather than being hosted on dedicated servers.

Hosting corporations operate large data centres; and people who require their data to be hosted buy or lease storage capacity from them and use it for their storage needs.

The data centre companies, in the background, virtualize the assets according to the needs of the client and present them as virtual servers, which the customers can themselves manage. Actually, the resource may span across on several servers.

Virtualising your system has never been individual servers running on a physical server all sharing the resources of that server.

Virtual dedicated servers are the ideal and choice for the growing entrepreneur. They simply mean that you can buy something that completely suits your current position and upgrade or expand later as you get bigger and you need it.

You can safely run a different operating system on each virtual server and choose different levels of memory or hard drive for each virtual server. Each virtual server is designated its own computing resources and additional capacity is always built into the actual or host server.

A thin layer of software, called a Hyper-Visor, is installed on the host server. This software allows the customer to create virtual servers and allocates hardware resources dynamically and transparently so that many operating systems can run in unison on a single server.

Each cloud server has access to a dedicated amount of RAM and hard disk together with a virtual NIC (Network Interface Card). It also has access to an allocated amount of CPU resource to ensure continued performance. you will find a range of cloud server packages available in the marketplace.
