Cloud computing is defined as accessing a service, program, or other software remotely over an internet connection. This model is based on a shared infrastructure of hardware and software resources at the service provider’s data centre, offering high and guaranteed availability.
The advantage of cloud computing is that the customer eliminates the costs of purchasing and operating their own technologies, the risk of data loss is minimised through regular backups, and a cloud solution enables a high degree of flexibility thanks to scalability (the ability to dynamically increase or decrease parameters).
