Everyday we use a number of mobile apps to ease our daily tasks. There are more than 5 million apps available between the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. And every day new apps are getting added to the app stores. Also it is necessary to note that the number of new apps in the market is increasing, the number of app downloads is also increasing. Obviously, all these 5 million + apps were built with different technologies.  Recently native application development was the standard which must be downloaded and installed on the devices before they could be used. Important thing about native apps is that you have to develop separate applications for separate platforms like iOS and Android. Now, cloud apps are starting to become more popular.

Cloud apps live on servers and get accessed through web browsers. For those who are thinking of building a mobile application, starting a cloud development may seem to be engaging. However, it could be confusing if you’ve never done it. So to give you a clear idea, here we’ll discuss mobile cloud computing and mobile cloud applications.

#What Is Mobile Cloud Computing?
Mobile Cloud Computing or MCC is a combination of cloud computing, mobile computing, and wireless network, so as to bring rich computational resources to mobile users, network operators, just as cloud computing providers. The main concept is to make it possible for rich mobile apps to be executed on a large number of mobile devices.

#What Is Mobile Cloud Application?
Traditionally, if you need to install a software on your PC, you have to purchase a disc and then use it to install the program. As the installation is completed, you could use the program on that computer. Whereas, a mobile cloud app is a software program that you can access from multiple computers and smartphones till they are connected to the internet. The main aim of mobile cloud applications is to improve productivity by increasing accessibility for users. With a stable internet connection and computing device, users can access software anytime and anywhere.

#Characteristics Of A Cloud App-
* Data can be locally cached
* Cloud infrastructure is used to store data
* These apps can be accessed from desktop or mobile devices
* There is scope of accommodating different user needs in cloud application development

#Working Of Cloud Apps-
On a remote data center data is stored, and compute cycles are carried out  on. The uptime, integration, and the security aspects are dealt with, by a back end, which also supports a large number of access methods. Cloud apps are popular for its responsiveness and the fact that these need not be permanently stored on the device. These applications can work online very well, and need to be updated in the online mode. Cloud applications can be placed under constant control, yet they don’t generally occupy any extra storage space on a PC or communication device. If there is availability of a proper internet and the cloud app is written well, it is sure to offer the similar experience as that of a desktop app, while offering the portability of a web app. 

#Difference Between Cloud App And Web App-
* The main aim of web app design is to be used from a web browser.  * Mobile cloud apps aren’t completely dependent on web browsers to function.
* The scalability of web apps is limited, however mobile cloud applications are inherently scalable.
* Web apps run on provider’s web servers and cloud apps can run on computing systems of users and provider’s web servers.
* User data and business processes for web apps are stored in single data center whereas cloud apps have a number of replicated data centers.
* Web apps are isolated-tenancy solutions and cloud apps are multi-tenancy solutions.
* In case of Web Applications every customer uses their own instance of the application, whereas for cloud applications the provided application is fixed to every single one of the customers.
