Cloud computing is a commercial implementation of these computational methods, which derives from grid computing and distributed computing, and the development of parallel computing to a certain stage. Cloud computing is a new kind of computing model, whose basic architecture belongs to the technical level of cloud computing, which mainly shows the system attribute and design idea. Cloud Computing's collection of services is derived from service types, indicating what can be brought to customers. The core technologies of cloud computing are data storage technology, data management technology, programming model and cloud security. Cloud computing has a wide application prospect in geo-information engineering and geospatial information Grid computing.
