What is the cloud

Cloud technology can be defined as delivering information technology services using the internet.  This is done through web based services and applications rather than a direct connection to a server.  What is the cloud also referred to as “cloud computing”.  Information that is accessed without a user required to be in a specific place to gain access.  Some companies find that cloud computing can reduce cost of information management,  since they are not required to own their own servers.  This also allows companies to upgrade software more quickly.
