Cloud Computing is the delivery of applications (such as email or CRM – Customer Relationship Management software) over the internet or a dedicated private connection. It is allows businesses to quickly scale their technology requirements to meet business requirements and demand.
The applications are run on servers hosted in a datacentre, so they are managed by your hosting provider. This means you have none of the worry of purchasing the servers, managing them, backing up or keeping them up to date. The services are purchased on a per user basis and your Cloud Services provider is responsible for making sure demand is met. Cloud Computing has evolved into tailored implementations where the applications are accessed over the internet or a private dedicated leased line to servers in the datacentre. The servers can be ‘private’, only used by one client, or ‘public’ used by multiple clients, or a mixture of both – where servers are split into dedicated areas.

Capgemini, ‘Why the cloud matters’:
'The cloud has emerged in the Infrastructure space, enabling real-time IT resource provisioning. You want 10 servers for a peak on your e-Commerce site? You have them. 20 more? OK. You’re in the financial services and you want 100 less servers? No problem. That’s the promise. You provision what you need, for the duration you need. And you are billed for that, and only that.’
