"A computing process requires resources like processors, memory, network and software. The traditional computing model for IT services requires investing in the computing infrastructure. 'Onpremise' solution requires that you purchase and deploy required hardware and software at your premise. Such a solution involves a capital expenditure on the equipment and recurring operational spending on the maintenance and technological refreshes required from time-to-time. Another possible solution can be colocation facilities where the facility owner can provide services like power, cooling, and physical security. The customer needs to deploy its server, storage, and other equipment necessary for the operation. This solution reduces the capital expenditure and increases the operational cost as per the service-agreement agreed upon for hiring the services. Cloud computing aggregates various computing resources, both hardware and software, such that they are viewed as one large pool and accessed as utility services. The word utility refers to hire up the resources until the demand exists and service provider charges for resource usage. The term "pay-per-use" or "pay-as-you-go" is used to represent cloud computing's commercial aspect. Most users define cloud computing as IT services located somewhere on the cloud, where the cloud presents data centers' location. It is essential to mention here that co-location data centers are off-premises"-- Provided by publisher 2021 marks the 75th anniversary of the first general purpose electronic digital computer, the 50th anniversary of the microprocessor, and the 40th anniversary of the IBM Personal Computer. These historic developments formed the foundation for amazing continuing advances in computing and IT. In a span of 75 years, from an unproven technology to one that is embedded deeply into every aspect of our work and our daily lives, computers have advanced significantly.The history of the modern computer has its origin to ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), the first general purpose programmable electronic (vacuum-tube) computer, unveiled to public on February 14, 1946. John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania developed it secretly for the US Army to calculate ballistic trajectory tables more effectively than the mechanical differential analyzers in use at the time. Besides using it for ballistics trajectory research, ENIAC was also used for Monte Carlo simulations, weather predictions, and early hydrogen bomb research. On the eve of unveiling of ENIAC, the US War Department put out a press release hailing it as “a new machine that is expected to revolutionize the mathematics of engineering and change many of our industrial design methods.” Without doubt, electronic digital computers did transform irrevocably engineering and mathematics, and also every other conceivable domain.
