How Cloud Computing Works
Cloud computing is a powerful modern concept which provides convenient on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources, such as network components, servers, memory, storage, applications, additional resources and services, all of which can be rapidly deployed. The Cloud can have any of the four types of access:
- Private Cloud,
- Public Cloud,
- Community Cloud,
- Hybrid Cloud.
The Cloud Computing gives the companies the ability to use the computing resources which are offered by other company and stored in datacenters. It is economically advantageous for the companies, because allows to use the more reliable equipment, bigger Internet bandwidth, redundant Internet connections, automated backups and at the same time lets to save required huge investments for purchase powerful hardware. The whole amount of computing resources is divided between the companies using a virtualization method that lets dynamically create, expand and move virtual applications, virtual servers and virtual desktops. This allows the company to increase the computing resources in seconds, if required. With purpose of increasing the productivity and continuation a work in crash or failure case, the components used for cloud computing are typically distributed across many systems.
The diagrams and schemes are effective way to visualize the Cloud computing, the differences in their types and how Cloud computing works. Thanks to the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Cloud Computing Diagrams solution from the Computers and Network area of ConceptDraw Solution Park, you can design diagrams as easy and quickly as you need.

Personal area (PAN) networks. Computer and Network Examples →
All computer networks differ by various params, and their size is one of them. As global area networks are the biggest, personal area (PAN) networks are the smallest. Personal computers, smartphones and other devices that have possibility to connect to Internet form a personal network. This diagram was created using ConceptDraw Computer Network Diagrams to represent a typical components of Personal area network. A personal area network (PAN) is the connection of IT devices around an individual person. This sample of personal area network involves a notebook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a portable printer. Commonly a PAN contains such wireless devices as mouse, keyboard, smartphone and tablet. A wireless connection is typical for a PAN.
How to Build Cloud Computing DiagramPrincipal Cloud Manufacturing →
The term “cloud” is very popular and widely used now, it is a server, data processing centre, or a network which lets to store the data and software, provides access to them, allows to run applications without installation and gives the possibility to process data hosted remotely via the Internet connection. For documenting the Cloud Computing Architecture with a goal to facilitate the communication between stakeholders are successfully used the Cloud Computing Architecture diagrams. It is convenient and easy to draw various Cloud Computing Architecture diagrams in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software with help of tools of the Cloud Computing Diagrams Solution from the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
Overlay network. Computer and Network Examples →
An Overlay network is a computer network that is built on the top of another network. The nodes of the overlay network are connected by virtual or logical links. This example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park and shows the Overlay network diagram for the P2P network.
