Cloud Computing

Cloud computing involves delivering computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics—over the internet (“the cloud”). Companies offering these computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge for cloud computing services based on usage, similar to how you’re billed for water or electricity at home.

• Cost Savings: Reduces the capital expense of buying hardware and software.
• Scalability: Offers flexible resources and economies of scale.
• Performance: Runs on a worldwide network of secure datacenters, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware.
• Speed and Agility: Vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks.
• Security: Protects data, apps, and infrastructure from potential threats with a comprehensive set of policies, technologies, and controls.

Cloud computing has transformed the way businesses operate by enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective IT solutions. It has facilitated remote work, disaster recovery, data backup, and efficient collaboration across different geographies. Cloud computing also supports innovative technologies such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
