Cloud computing uses the internet to distribute your company’s IT resources, including servers, apps, software development tools, and associated services. The supplier provides you with those resources rather than having you host and manage servers and apps in your own data centre.
Depending on the cloud computing model you select, you and the supplier share responsibility for managing such cloud services. Pay-as-you-go billing is common for cloud computing, which eliminates the need for a capital investment in infrastructure or hardware. This explains why so many businesses have embraced the idea.
