Overview of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing refers to the process of storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet. (Remote or Virtual Servers) instead of your computer’s hard drive.
In fact, when data is stored on or run programs from the hard drive, this is referred to as storage. Everything the user needs is physically close to him/her, which means access to data is fast and easy, for that one computer, or others on the local network.
For small and midsize businesses (SMBs), the benefits of cloud computing are endless. Cloud Computing saves businesses time and money by boosting productivity, improving collaboration and promoting innovation.
Cloud hosting facilitates all types of information-sharing, such as email services, application hosting, Web-based phone systems, data storage and more. In addition, Cloud technology allows businesses to save space and delegate the hosting of big servers to third-party Company.
Businesses use Cloud Computing to access information anywhere using any compatible device. Unlike storing information on your computer or a server in your office, cloud computing stores data on the Internet.
It works by making information available, from a central Web-based hub, to anyone with proper credentials from any location with an Internet connection.
