Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to introduce the concept of cloud computing by presenting a quick refresher of traditional computing models—such as monolithic computing, client–server computing, distributed computing, cluster computing, and grid computing—as well as comparing and contrasting it with other computing models. By the end of the chapter the reader should understand the primary purposes for which cloud computing came into existence.
