Cloud Services

“The cloud” is the new buzzword in the technology and business realms these days, but everyone seems to have a different definition for it. Is there really a gigantic cloud that has all of our data stored inside of it?

What is the cloud?

In the simplest terms, cloud computing means the user is storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of his or her computer’s hard drive. The cloud metaphor goes back to the days of flowcharts and presentations that would represent the server-farm infrastructure of the Internet as a puffy, white cumulonimbus cloud, accepting connections and doling out information as it floats.

While there are many examples of cloud storage, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft’s OneDrive are some of the more prominent solutions available to the public.

Each business is different
