A cloud is a distributed and parallel computing system made up of a number of linked & virtualized computers which are dynamically provisioned and displayed as one or more unified computing assets in accordance with service level agreements negotiated between service providers and customers. Those that use cloud computing can get elastic services on demand and pay per use. The cloud toolkit also functions as a standalone data centre modelling platform. With the help of the IBM Altocumulus middleware, customers of the cloud can easily deploy web applications to several clouds. Also, there are options for creating and migrating cloud images in addition to storing and retrieving database contents.
