What is cloud computing?

Traditionally, everybody stored their data and programs on a hard drive. Today, as the new alternative, cloud computing allows individuals and companies to store and access data and programs over the Internet.

The cloud is therefore basically a metaphor for the Internet.

Benefits of the cloud
