What is Cloud Computing?

Computing using dynamically scalable & virtualized resources,

provided as a service over the Internet.

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather

than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers and other devices as a
utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the
Internet).
