Native Cloud Application (NCA) refers to a type of computer software that natively utilizes services and infrastructure provided by cloud computing providers such as Amazon EC2 or Force.com. NCAs exhibit a combined usage of the three fundamental technologies:
- Computational grid - loosely, e.g. MapReduce
- Data grids (e.g. distributed in-memory data caches)
- Auto-scaling on any managed infrastructure
