Cloud is about storing data over the internet instead of a computer’s hard drive. Cloud computing holds a number of advantages over traditional methods, which are mainly summarized by:

• Reduced Costs: Cloud computing services allow for lower and more predictable operational expenses, as they are always charged on a pay as you go basis.

• Flexibility: You gain the ability to leverage the enormous IT infrastructures of companies like Microsoft and Google to create an entirely bespoke solution.

• Security:  Most cloud computing data centers are subject to regular security audits performed to the highest standards and your data is backed up across multiple servers across the world.
