The increased degree of connectivity and the increasing amount of data has led many providers and in particular data centers to employ larger infrastructures with dynamic load and access balancing. By distributing and replicating data across servers on demand, resource utilization has been significantly improved. Similarly, web server hosts replicate images of relevant customers who request a certain degree of accessibility across multiple servers and route requests according to traffic load. However, it was only when Amazon published these internal resources and their management mechanisms for use by customers that the term Cloud was publicly associated with such elastic infrastructures, especially with on demand access to Information Technology or IT resources in mind. In the meantime, many providers have rebranded their infrastructures to clouds, even though this has little consequence on the way they provide their capabilities.
Cloud Computing Service Provider typically centre on one type of cloud functionality provisioning, such as, Infrastructure, Platform, or Software / Application, though there is potentially no restriction to offer multiple types at the same time, which can often be observed in PaaS (Platform as a Service) providers which offer specific applications too, such as Google App Engine in combination with Google Docs. Due to this combinatorial capability, these types are also often referred to as components. Literature and publications typically differ slightly in the terminologies applied. This is mostly due to the fact that some application areas overlap and are therefore difficult to distinguish. As an example, platforms typically have to provide access to resources indirectly, and thus are sometimes confused with infrastructures. Some more popular terms have been introduced in less technologically centered publications.
