Types of Cloud Computing

- Types of cloud computing:

Cloud computing systems are typically designed to support large numbers of customers and surges in demand. Service providers create cloud computing systems to meet common business or research needs. Examples of cloud computing services include:

• Virtual IT (Information Technology): Configuring and deploying remote external servers as an extension of a company's local IT network.
• Application Software: Use commercial software applications, or develop and remotely host custom applications,
• Web Storage: Web Storage archives data to providers over the Internet without knowing the physical location of the storage.

- Virtual IT

Various IT organizations manage physical servers dedicated to specific applications, resulting in inefficient use of their capacity. Therefore, it increases IT costs and operational costs. However, more and more companies are learning about virtualization in cloud computing and incorporating the technology into their current setups in a cost-effective manner. 

Virtualization is a technology that creates an abstraction layer on a physical server, with a hypervisor, to create a fully virtual computing system - often referred to as a virtual machine (VM). Businesses can expand their IT infrastructure and develop cost-effective and more accessible virtual environments. 

Virtualization also allows users to run multiple virtual servers - Windows, Linux - simultaneously on a single physical server. The hardware components of a physical server (processors, storage, and other computing resources) are segmented into multiple virtual elements—VMs.
