CLOUD - So first thing we need to know here is what is a Cloud ? and how it is useful to us to use Cloud. Cloud is long network of interconnected computers that allow the avaliability of data over internet all the time .Cloud help to make our data secure and allow the user to run its application on cloud with full scalability and availaibility . We say it provides avalaibility of 100% because Cloud follows the approach of Replication of data to the other nodes to make ensuring the full availaibility of data even when the server that is actually assumed to have data or application is not availaible .
If we are accessing an Application on Cloud and at that particular time that server is down so how our Application Deployed on Server could be accessed Cloud Computing gives answer of this question By Cloud Computing when we deploy our application on cloud then cloud computing will replicate your application to other connected nodes also so that your application will be availabile when one of node is off and unable to provide the access to your application
