Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing refers to the delivery of computing services, including storage and processing power, over the internet rather than through local hardware, fundamentally transforming business and personal technology infrastructure.
Allowing businesses to rent computing power on demand rather than purchasing and maintaining their own expensive physical servers, this shift fundamentally transformed how companies build and scale technology infrastructure.
Computing Delivered Over the Internet
Cloud computing delivers computing resources, including data storage and processing power, over the internet rather than requiring dedicated local hardware infrastructure.
Reducing Infrastructure Costs
Cloud computing significantly reduced technology infrastructure costs for businesses, allowing companies to rent computing capacity as needed rather than maintaining expensive dedicated physical servers.
Major Cloud Service Providers
Major technology companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, have built substantial cloud computing businesses, providing critical infrastructure for countless other companies and applications.
Enabling Modern Digital Services
Cloud computing infrastructure underlies a significant portion of modern digital services, from streaming platforms to mobile applications, representing essential foundational technology for the modern internet.
