What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is the delivery of a computing service of shared resources, software and information to computers and other devices over a network, typically the Internet.
Computation, software, data access and storage resources are provided from the cloud without the user needing to know the location or other details of the computing infrastructure. By this means cloud users can consume resources without first having to acquire servers or other computing equipment. A parallel can be drawn to the electricity grid, where the end-user consumes power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service.

- What type of applications do you access regularly?
- Is control and security important to you?
- Do you have a stable Internet connection?
- Is there a need to work in different locations?
- Is a monthly recurring fee your preferred option?
- Do you want to take advantage of enterprise IT products without overheads?
