Cloud - Technology
Cloud computing
Using computing, storage and software provided over the internet
What's it for?
Lets organisations use computing and storage over the internet instead of buying and running all the equipment themselves.
For example…
A start-up hosts its app and files with a provider and grows capacity for a product launch week
A company rents computing power and storage from a cloud provider for a new service instead of buying and installing physical servers
Think of it like…
Using electricity from the grid instead of running your own generator: use what you need without owning and maintaining all the machinery
