What is cloud computing
Cloud computing is to some of us a quite recent development in the world of IT. Could computing is basically using the internet to store and manage data and programs. This data (which can include documents, photos and software) is stored on several servers across the internet rather than just on one local server or a personal computer. The name cloud comes from the comparison to cloud up in the sky to hosting in the air as such with no limits as to size etc. There are many benefits to using cloud computing, such as no longer needing complex disaster recovery plans as cloud computing can cover most eventualities and offer fast and effective solutions. Also most cloud computing companies do any security updates that are required without having to have to spend your own time ensuring everything is up to date. It has proved very flexible and cost effective for many companies such as those wanting to temporary increase the bandwidth or space required.
