What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud—the term seems to pop up everywhere these days in technology, business, and even casual conversations. Is it really just a buzzword or is there more to it? What does it actually mean? How did it become so popular in our current world? How is it solving modern problems? We will explore these questions throughout this blog.

Have you ever imagined the clouds in the sky? We can’t see how much they hold, yet they provide us with rain, nourishing the earth from afar. This same principle applies to cloud computing.

Just as the clouds store vast amounts of water, cloud services store vast amounts of data and applications. We may not see the physical servers or the intricate systems behind the scenes, but we benefit from them daily.

So what’s actually Cloud Computing?

Delivering the Computing services such as Storage, Networking and processing power over a secure network via internet using pay-as-you go manner is called as Cloud Computing.

Why Cloud Computing?

Consider this example: Suppose Bob is planning to establish a startup, and of course, he needs computers, networking, storage, data centers, and other equipment. He begins to imagine how much it will cost to manage all these resources.

Then, once in a blue moon, he thinks, “What if I could rent these services instead?” That’s an appealing idea, right? This is where the concept of Cloud Computing comes in. With Cloud Computing, Bob can rent computing power, storage, networking, and other services over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis.

This model is cost-efficient, reliable, and readily available. So, why not embrace Cloud Computing?
