Cloud computing<\/strong> (also known as the data cloud<\/strong>) refers to the provision of IT resources via the internet<\/strong>. Instead of running software<\/strong>, storage<\/strong> or computing power<\/strong> locally, you use these services from external providers<\/strong>. The required resources are available flexibly and on demand. This allows companies and private individuals to access powerful infrastructure<\/strong> without having to operate their own data centers. Cloud services<\/strong> are now among the most important foundations of modern digitalization<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is cloud computing all about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With cloud computing<\/strong>, applications<\/strong><\/a>, data<\/strong> and computing power<\/strong> are provided on a provider\u2019s servers. Users<\/a> access them via the internet. The infrastructure is usually located in professional data centers<\/strong>. This allows resources<\/strong> to be flexibly expanded or reduced. Companies often only pay for the services they actually use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is cloud computing important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Digital business models<\/strong> today require flexible and scalable<\/a> IT structures. Data clouds<\/strong> enable exactly this adaptability. At the same time, the effort required for maintenance, hardware and operation is reduced. Especially in the field of web development<\/a><\/strong>, data analysis<\/strong> and artificial intelligence<\/a><\/strong>, cloud services<\/strong><\/a> play a central role. As a result, projects can be implemented and expanded faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
