What will be an ideal response?
Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text.
Home and business users choose cloud computing for a variety of reasons:
• Accessibility: Data and/or applications are available worldwide from any computer or device with an Internet connection.
• Cost savings: The expense of software and high-end hardware, such as fast processors and high-capacity memory and storage devices, shifts away from the user.
• Space savings: Floor space required for servers, storages devices, and other hardware shifts away from the user.
• Scalability: Provides the flexibility to increase or decrease computing requirements as needed.
Cloud computing consists of a front end and a back end, connected to each other through a network. The front end includes the hardware and software with which a user interacts to access the cloud. For example, a user might access a resource on the cloud through a browser on a laptop. The back end consists of the servers and storage devices that manage and store the resources accessed by users.
