Cloud Computing: What It Is

Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities. Just the same way that there is less and less hard copies and paper, there is less software that is directly on the computer's hard drive. It is stored in another place that can be accesses through the internet and any device. One of the best parts about cloud computing is that you can build only what you need and what you will be using. This is a great aspect of the cloud if you are a business professional looking for that edge. Do you use the cloud?
