What Is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is a catch-all term that refers to any computing service—this includes servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—that is hosted and delivered over the internet and on-demand.
Cloud computing architecture is built entirely using network and net-enabled systems. Individuals and businesses use cloud computing as an alternative to owning extensive computing infrastructure of their own or building/renting data centers. Cloud computing services make it possible to rent anything from access to applications to storage, from a cloud service provider.
