What is cloud computing? - easily explained

The concept of cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular. We explain exactly what cloud computing is in this practical tip.

What is cloud computing? All information

• In cloud computing, storage space, computing power and applications are made available digitally over the Internet.
• All services and resources are individually tailored to the user and then called up when they are needed.
• This frees the user from the cost-intensive commissioning and maintenance of his own PC.
• Cloud computing means something like "data processing in the cloud".
• The cloud serves as cloud storage and provides you with all the necessary resources and applications that also come from other computers.
• Cloud computing is particularly practical for companies with many individual PCs that are all connected to the cloud.
• The company only has to purchase an operating system and make it available in the cloud. The data exchange between the individual PCs also works so effectively.
