Cloud computing can be compared to the way Google offers products to their clients. All the services offered by Google are stored and maintained by Google servers, all a user has to do to access these products from anywhere and from any compatible device is register with a user name and password.
This is cloud computing in a nut shell. Business maintain hundreds of servers that make applications available to their clients, the applications stay on the servers and are accessed by a user name and password. So instead of many computers with many applications cloud computing rewrites the equation as many devices accessing a single application. This way of computing is very convenient and cost effective for businesses that need a lot of people working on one project. Because all the members of the project simply log on and begin to collaborate simultaneously even on a single project across multiple devices and multiple locations, rather than one person doing their section and passing it off to the next person and so one.
