The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or personal computer.
Six Advantages and Benefits of Cloud Computing
- Trade capital expense for variable expense
- Benefit from massive economies of scale
- Stop guessing capacity
- Increase speed and agility
- Stop spending money on running and maintaining data centers
- Go global in minutes
- Trade capital expense for variable expense
No upfront cost: Instead of paying for data and servers
Pay-On-Demand: Pay only when you consume computing resources
