Cloud Computing Infographic: What is the Cloud?

Cloud is a model that describes access to a shared pool of computer resources that can be rapidly configured and utilized with minimal user effort or interaction, according to NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (US Department of Commerce). A good analogy is to think of cloud-computing resources (servers, storage, virtual machines, networks, hosted applications/services, etc.) being delivered to you like water from your utility company. Everything “just works” without concern about the the underlying computer infrastructure you simply pay for what you use.

Amazon Web Services, the market leader in cloud computing, was long considered the front runner to win the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract, but in October the Department of Defense surprisingly gave it to Microsoft.
