The Cloud
The Cloud refers to using remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data instead of relying solely on a personal computer or local server. It allows users to access files, applications, and services from any device with an internet connection. Cloud providers maintain and protect the infrastructure, offering scalability, flexibility, and often cost savings. Think of it as storing documents and running programs on powerful computers elsewhere, accessible anytime, anywhere, without the need for physical hardware on your premise.
