    • Abstract:
      The article provides information on cloud computing. Cloud Computing is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and cached temporarily on clients that include desktops, entertainment centers, table computers, notebooks, wall computers, handhelds, sensors and monitors. As technical and cost barriers fall and security issues are addressed, the cloud has become a viable platform not only for back-end operations but also for key business practices, including content management and distribution. One of the key benefits to publishers and content aggregators of cloud computing is its massive scalability.
