Cloud Application Development

A cloud app is the evolved web app. It's equally used to access online services over the Internet like web apps but not always exclusively dependent on web browsers to work. It's possible for a customizable, multi-tenancy cloud app to be solely available over the web browser from service providers, but quite often the web-interface is used as alternative access methods to the custom built cloud app for online services.

Cloud-based solutions have a number of advantages for business over the traditional way of providing services. Among them these benefits are: cost saving, device and location independence, scalability, reliability, performance, utilization of resources and security.

Cloud apps are usually characterized by advanced features such as:

• Data is stored in a cloud / cloud-like infrastructure
• Data can be cached locally for full-offline mode
• Support for different user requirements, e.g., data backup cloud app with different features such as data compression, security, backup schedule
• Can be used from web browser and/or custom built apps installed on Internet connected devices such as desktops, mobile phones
• Can be used to access a wider range of services such as on-demand computing cycle, storage, application development platforms

Today cloud computing has become a common way of delivering services via the Internet. This cloud service can be accessed from anywhere on the web: your desktop web browser, mobile phone, tablet PC or even TV.
