These are usually provided by large centers which are situated over multiple locations. Some of the important characteristics of cloud computing are agility, device and location independence, performance, productivity, and security. Deployment models refer to the environmental parameters affecting the location and ownership of the infrastructure. A few f the various deployment models are private cloud, public cloud, community cloud and distributed cloud. Cloud computing finds extensive application in the fields of data analysis, audio-video streaming, embedded intelligence, application testing, etc. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of cloud computing. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, it makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline.
