Cloud Computing services

“Cloud computing enables convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”

That’s a quick definition of cloud computing. But why use cloud computing?

In all these cases cloud computing is the perfect solution for you.
Cloud-based apps have lower cost with automatic software updates and easy interface. They are also time saver as you can be up and running within few days or weeks.
