Cloud computing is the delivery of computer services such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence over the Internet (“the cloud”) to provide faster innovation, more flexible resources, and economies of scale.
The same physical server hardware that forms the backbone of every computer network is still used in cloud computing. On the other hand, cloud architecture makes that hardware’s processing power and storage capacity available over the internet.
