Cloud computing is internet-based computing that connects large groups of remote servers for centralized data storage and access to resources, classified as public, private, or hybrid. It offers benefits such as cost-effectiveness, fast deployment, scalability, global reach, and enhanced safety for virtual assets. The model operates on resource sharing, akin to utilities like electricity, maximizing the efficiency of these resources.

How we can benefit from it

2. The Cloud
Cloud computing is internet-based computing in which
large groups of remote servers are networked to allow
the centralised data storage, and online access to
computer services or resources. Clouds can be
classified as public, private or hybrid.
Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to
achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a
utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the
cloud", also focuses on maximising the effectiveness of
the shared resources.
