Cloud computing“Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on the sharing of computing resources rather than the availability of local services or personal devices to manage applications. The cloud is used as a metaphor for "the Internet", so the expression cloud computing means "a type of Internet-based computing", in which various services, such as servers, storage, and applications, are provided to a network's computers and devices. organization. through the Internet. Cloud computing is comparable to grid computing, a type of computing in which the unused processing cycles of all the computers in a network are tools to solve problems too intensive for any autonomous machine (Web 2.0).” While “Web 2.0 is the term given to describe a second generation of the World Wide Web that focuses on the ability of people to collaborate and share information online. Web 2.0 basically refers to the transition from static HTML Web pages to a more dynamic, more organized Web based on the delivery of Web applications to users.

Web 2.0 was previously used synonymously with Semantic Web, but although the two are similar, they do not share exactly the same meaning (Web 2.0).” The cloud uses the goal of applying traditional supercomputing that is also high-performance computing power. This is one way to provide and personalize information; provides data storage or great power for immersing computer games.
