What is Cloud Computing?How we can benefit from it

The CloudCloud computing is internet-based computing in which large groups of remote servers are networked to allow the centralised data storage, and online access to computer services or resources. Clouds can be classified as public, private or hybrid.Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.

Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximising the effectiveness of the shared resources.
