Cloud computing can be defined as is the use of computing
resources both hardware and software that are delivered as a service over the
internet. The name "cloud"
comes from the use of
cloud-shaped symbol as an concept for the complex infrastructure it contains in
system diagrams. Microsoft approaches cloud computing as a way to help
customers take a key step toward better business agility, economics, and user
experiences. We also know that for many modern CIOs and technology leaders, the
cloud presents an opportunity to redefine the role IT plays in implementing a
business’ strategy. Because of its power to fundamentally change how businesses
operate and compete, the cloud is a game changer for the enterprise.
The cloud is great especially for security, and to create a private cloud on certain
hardware. You still have to put the appropriate security measures in place, no
matter which cloud you choose. Different types of computer software's such as Intel,
dell, Microsoft, apple, etc have different types of cloud options. You must
choose which is best for you.
