Cloud computing in simple terms is the delivering the services of computing including the servers, storage, the databases, intelligence, analytics and networking and software using the internet. The purpose is the fast, innovative flexible and economic use of resources. Cloud computing is a very important component in the sharing of resources over the internet. This project is therefore focused to enlighten the audience on its importance and the various components that it involves.
In the current society, technology is evolving and so is the automation of various functions and services in the day to day activities of human lives in the homes, institutions, businesses and various offices of work. this has, therefore, lead to the use of the internet for various function. This, therefore, calls for the sharing of the storage and delivery functions for the various services that need to use the internet. The huge amount of data sometimes requires analysis which is hard to do manually and this is where cloud computing comes in as it eases the analysis of the data (Hashem et al, 2015).
Cloud computing had several components which include the software as a service (SaaS) that operates in computers which are operated through the internet. The benefits of this component include the use of the business apps that are innovative, the apps can also be accessed by other users among others. the other component is the Platform as a service (PaaS) which enables the setting up of the applications that based on the web. The importance of this the fast development of applications and getting them to the market very fast. Infrastructure as a service is another component of cloud computing whose function is the provision of storage, servers, and networks to the clients of the basis of pay-per-use. This component eliminates the need of owning a hardware. Cloud computing also has a hybrid cloud in it. This involves the use of both the strategic integration and public cloud services. The hybrid cloud computing enables data to be portable, including the services and other apps.
Information on the project will be obtained through various methods of obtaining information which includes both primary and secondary data sources. However, the large of the sources of information for the project includes the secondary sources of information. The secondary sources include the literature of the materials written by several other authors. The other sources are the internet sources which usually contains a great deal of information on various topics of research. The primary sources may include the focus groups which involves getting views and information from a group of person. The personal interviews of experts on the topic is also another sources of information for the topic at hand. However, the easiest way of obtaining the information is the secondary sources which provide the information readily (Rittinghouse & Ransome, 2016).
From the various sources of information, the results will be obtained and analysis is done. Conclusions will be then being drawn and the necessary recommendations made. This is actually based on the important components of cloud computing and the importance of each of the components in the automation of work in the various fields of application.
