Introduction:

Today, the most popular applications are Internet services with millions of users. Websites like Google, Yahoo! and Face book receive millions of clicks daily. This generates terabytes of invaluable data which can be used to improve online advertising strategies and user satisfaction. Real time capturing, storage, and analysis of this data are common needs of all high-end online applications. To address these problems, cloud computing technology provides various standard models and methods. Cloud computing is a style of computing where dynamically scalable and virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. The cloud refers to the datacenter hardware and software that supports a clients needs, often in the form of data stores and remotely hosted applications. Cloud computing provides customers the illusion of infinite computing resources which are available from anywhere, anytime, on demand. Computing at such an immense scale requires a framework that can support extremely large datasets housed on clusters of commodity hardware. Two examples of such frameworks are Googles Map Reduce and Microsofts Dryad. First we discuss what exactly the cloud computing is, what are the basic models & services provided by the cloud computing. Next we focus on the
