Several significant benefits can be realized by adopting a client/server architecture: 1)It allows companies to leverage the benefits of microcomputer technology.Today's workstations deliver impressive computing power at a fraction of the cost of a mainframe.2)It allows most processing to be performed close to the source of processed data,thereby improving response times and reducing network traffic.3)It facilitates the use of graphical user interfaces and visual presentation techniques commonly available for workstations.4)It allows for and encourages the acceptance of open systems.

Services in a(n)________ cloud can be used by any interested party on a pay-per-use basis; hence,they are often used for applications that need rapid scalability.
