Cloud Computing:
Some one may ask, what is Cloud Computing? Or think cloud computing is having your computer in the sky as in the “clouds”. If that’s your thought you are not far from right. Buh below will clear the misconception you might have. Follow me and let’s read through for a thorough understanding of cloud computing;

Imagine having access to a vast, virtual computer network that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. This is essentially what cloud computing is. Instead of relying on physical servers in your own office, you can utilize resources from a remote data center over the internet.
