Understand Cloud Computing in easy way

In this fast moving world each one of us wants to save time by uploading our data online for quick access from everywhere. It happens with all the people that they use different kinds of stuff on regular basis, somehow other people associated with them would also like to use that stuff so a hosted service has been designed which allow them to log into a Web-based service which hosts all the programs the user would need for his or her job.

The name of this service is Cloud Computing which allows you to save your data online. It does not require any installation of any application and the stuff present on this service can be accessed from any computer (with internet access)

Some most common examples of Cloud Computing are Yahoo, Gmail, Google Docs etc. It provides computation, data access, data management, storage resources to users and they can use it without having any knowledge of cloud infrastructure.
