Cloud computing involves storing, managing, and processing data on remote servers hosted on the web rather than local servers or personal devices. It allows consumers to access relevant data from any internet-capable device through comprehensive web-based services. As standardization, virtualization, automation, and service-orientation became priorities, cloud computing emerged as an industry solution providing a "cloud" of accessible data to clients.

• As a result of the increasing importance of
standardizing, virtualizing, automating, and becoming
service-oriented, a web-based data service became an
industry priority.
• Cloud computing involves the process of using remote
servers hosted on the web to store, manage, and
process a wide array of data relevant to the business.
• As it is defined, from the client’s perspective, cloud
computing is a comprehensive service offered to
consumers that will comprise a “cloud” of relevant data
that can be accessed from any internet-capable mobile
device.
