3. What is Cloud Computing

In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing
data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard
drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. It goes back to
the days of flowcharts and presentations that would represent the
gigantic server-farm infrastructure of the Internet as nothing but a
puffy, white cumulus cloud, accepting connections and doling out
information as it floats.

In 2017, spending on IT infrastructure for off-premise cloud
deployments will increase by double digits, according to a recent
report from the Uptime Institute. However, the majority of end user
spending—nearly 60%—will still be done on on-premise IT
infrastructure, including on-premise private cloud and on-premise
traditional IT, the report noted. Only one in 12 companies have all of
their applications in the cloud, according to a recent survey from Tech
Pro Research.
