Abstract

Cloud Computing, in brief referring to the emergent concept of flexible access to resources on a tap, with pay-as-you-go model, over the all-pervasive network, stirs an uncanny familiarity to the popular slogan of a leading airline out of India, Simplifly, whose model of low cost aviation is a classic case of disruptive innovation. The notion of simplifly lowered the bar of access to flying, thereby democratizing air travel. On a similar note, the cloud computing concept manifests itself in a myriad forms like simpliStore or simpliCompute, technically also referred to storage as a service or computation as a service, or broader terms like platform as as ervice and infrastructure as a service.
