What is the cloud<\/b>? The term “cloud” when talking about technology or computing is not new. You are probably familiar with this word and relate it to servers, the internet, etc.\u00a0 The term refers to the fact that the server used is not visible or physically accessible to the user.<\/span><\/p>\n

In simple terms, cloud computing<\/b> means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer’s hard drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Concept\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cloud computing<\/b>, popularly called \u00abcloud\u00bb<\/b>, is the provision of different services over the Internet, which are on physical or virtual servers, and which are maintained and controlled by a cloud provider<\/b>. These resources include tools and applications such as data storage, servers, databases, networks, and software.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the cloud,<\/b> there are services that we can make use of, as we will see below (SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS), but before we move on to the next point we leave you with an explanatory video on “What is Cloud Computing?<\/a>” explained by Simplilearn.<\/span><\/p>\n
