                            CLOUD COMPUTING

                      In computers, we use the term cloud to represent a network
                      or internet. The term cloud is used for various services like
                      data storage, servers, etc. Cloud computing is an Internet-
                      based service that helps users to access shared resources,
                      software and information over a network on demand. It also
                      helps users store and access the data and services. It is not

                      required to install all the software or resources for accessing
                      them. We can use these services directly through remote servers and web-based applications.
                      The information and data can be accessed from anywhere at anytime.
