What is "the cloud", how does it work?
The cloud is the Internet and has several advantages:
-
Apps and data are accessible from any connected computer
-
No data is lost if your computer breaks, as data is in the cloud
-
No need to invest in your own hardware
-
Flexible, innovative services available on demand
This arose with "software as a service" when applications were made available to companies over the Internet in the late 1990s. Applications or software runs on distant computers "in the cloud" that are owned and operated by others and that connect to users' via the internet.
Countless mobile apps use the Web for additional information and the delivery of everything from applications to data storage over the internet.
Cloud computing is often referred to as simply "the cloud".
