Remember when you were limited to storing and accessing all of your programs and data on your computer and nowhere else? 

To be quite honest, it’s rather hard to remember how inaccessible data was in the past. Ever since cloud computing was introduced, data accessibility changed drastically. 

Cloud computing are various services – storage, software, platforms, and servers – offered over the Internet. 

There are 3 major characteristics common to all cloud computing services:

Their backend is always managed by a “cloud” vendor. 

Cloud users only pay for services used such as bandwidth, memory, and processing time. 

All cloud computing services are scalable, meaning you can increase and decrease them according to changes in your requirements. 

Cloud computing allows you to store, locate, and retrieve all your data, files, software, and even use virtualized hardware through the Internet.

Instead of having to own servers, server space, and applications, you can now rent them without worrying about bogging down your computer or having to upgrade or continuously purchase more applications, server space, or bandwidth to keep up with your ever-increasing computing demands. 

You are probably already using some form of cloud computing service. Think of email, mobile applications, Google Drive files, or even certain company shared databases. 

Cloud computing enables businesses to access all their apps, files, programs, and more through any device as long as users have an Internet connection and the right credentials. 

This reduces the amount of email cluttering inboxes, increases overall business efficiency and gives companies access to new systems that were unattainable to them earlier.
