A cloud application, usually referred to as cloud app, is a program that functions not in your premises but in the cloud. It is currently considered the best solution for storing and managing files, especially for businesses that have various branches in different geographical locations. However, this application has some features similar to desktop applications, apps that are located in the user's location.
· Cloud applications can work offline.
Therefore, even on board a plane the app will function. Some functionality will remain even when there is no internet.
· Cloud applications do not have to reside permanently at the location of the user.
Therefore, these do not always consume storage space. o Updates to these applications can easily be done online. o Tools reside in the cloud and modifications are done online, but actual user interface is done on the local device.
Features of Cloud Apps
There are some distinctive qualities that set apart genuine cloud apps from those that are merely accessed through web sites that use big servers. Genuine cloud computing apps typically use a remote source, work through MPLS WAN connectivity, and have variable capacities. When using them, the user is able to provision for himself. Most of all, cloud computing apps are generally totally independent of programs that have been installed on the PC of the user.
Popular Apps and What They can Do
Cloud apps can execute practically all the programs that can be run in a regular computer. The right applications could do a whole range of tasks in the cloud system. These tasks could start from word processing to highly customized programs that fit specific needs of companies or individuals. Here is a sample of the most useful cloud computing applications for individuals and small enterprises, notably those businesses that do not want to invest on infrastructure and in-house IT support

· Continuous backup service online.
This means having your files continuously backed up on your server or computer, in your virtual data center . This allows small and medium enterprises to retrieve files wherever their authorized user is on online. Mozy, Box, Dropbox, Google, and many other servers offer this kind of service. In fact, storage is the most commonly used cloud app. It provides security so that in the event that any data loss crisis takes place, their files are saved in the cloud.
· Time tracking.
You can create schedules for projects and tasks, allot working hours for them, log how long each task took to complete, and how much time left you have on a given timeframe. This is very useful for businesses that bill according to hours spent on the job, and for planners who need to monitor project implementation and completion.
· Design and printing.
There are applications that can provide design and printing for various cards and postcards. These applications allow users to upload designs, import their own images, use and customize designs provided by the application.
Some servers will run the whole gamut of apps for users. They will users use of storage space, spread sheets, and slideshows; they will also allow multiple users to work on files simultaneously. Some will include calendars, and event reminders. All of these cloud computing applications can make life simpler not only for businesses but for ordinary individuals as well, so it would do you well to learn more about it.
