  3. Cloud computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

    Cloud bursting is an application deployment model in which an application runs in a private cloud or data center and "bursts" to a public cloud when the demand for computing capacity increases. A primary advantage of cloud bursting and a hybrid cloud model is that an organization pays for extra compute resources only when they are needed. [ 68 ]

  4. Cloud storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_storage

    Cloud storage is a model of computer data storage in which data, said to be on "the cloud", is stored remotely in logical pools and is accessible to users over a network, typically the Internet. The physical storage spans multiple servers (sometimes in multiple locations), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a cloud ...

  9. Computation offloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_offloading

    Mobile cloud computing is the combination of cloud computing and mobile computing, in which mobile devices perform computation offloading to balance the power of the cloud for accelerating application execution and saving energy consumption. In this computation offloading, a mobile device migrates part of its computing to the cloud.
