Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.[1]
Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers.[2] It relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.[3] At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.
