Cloud Computing.

Definition: Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted

services over the Internet. These services are broadly

divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (

IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name

cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in flowcharts and

diagrams.

Electronic Security

Definition: Protection resulting from all measures

designed to deny to unauthorized persons information of value

which might be derived from the

possession and study of electromagnetic

radiations.

Network operating systems: A network operating system (NOS) is a software

program that controls other software and hardware that runs on a network. It also allows

multiple computers, also known as network computers, to communicate with one main

messages, among other things. A computer network can consist of a wireless network,

local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), or even two or three computer

networks. The heart of any of these networks, however, is the network operating system.

Utility Software: a kind of system software designed to help analyze,

configure, optimize and maintain the computer. A single piece of utility software is usually called a utility (abbr. util) or tool
