About Book

Cloud computing is one of the most exciting developments, which has become omnipresent among the technocrats world over as technology solution as well as resource sharing venture. Cloud computing is modern technology which enables Internet based computing and provides on demand data to computers and other devices. Any company or individual can access the same data on various devices by the use of Internet. The different types of clouds present are multicloud, community cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, distributed cloud, intercloud, etc. It is sometimes compared with the virtualization of computing power, applications and storage, thought of as a model to deploy pay-as-you-go web services or perceived to be similar to grid computing and shares characteristics with all of these technology paradigms and more. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of cloud computing. It explores commercial relations in cloud computing, e-learning, cloud computing systems, next-generation sequencing data analysis, cloud computing environments, next-generation telematics, security framework and mobile cloud computing. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of this discipline. Such selected concepts that redefine this field have been presented in this book. For all those who are interested in information technology and cloud computing, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
