Cloud computing allows you to access applications, servers (physical or virtual), data storage and tools for development. You can also access a remote data centre managed by a cloud service provider (or CSP). Subscribers can access these resources for a monthly charge or are billed according to their usage.

Infra as a Service (IaaS), platform as a Service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) are the three most common models of cloud services, and it is not uncommon for organizations to use all three.

Due to security concerns, organizations have traditionally been hesitant to consider cloud services, especially public cloud services. However, the security offered by cloud service providers has steadily outpaced the security offered by on-premises solutions in response to demand.

It is predicted that cloud services will expand rapidly soon. As organizations seek flexible and scalable data storage solutions, the possibility of a 100% switch to cloud services is high. They also need a platform capable of efficiently delivering mission-critical apps and data to their employees.
