What you need to know about Cloud

The Cloud, or cloud computing, refers to the provision of IT services via the Internet. These services include data storage, computing power, databases, software and much more, accessible on demand without requiring local hardware infrastructure. The Cloud is classified into three main models: IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), offering resources such as virtual servers and networks; PaaS (Platform as a Service), providing an environment to develop and deploy applications; and SaaS (Software as a Service), allowing the use of software directly online without local installation. Cloud solutions offer advantages such as scalability, reduced infrastructure costs, access flexibility, and automatic updates. They are widely adopted by businesses and individuals for applications ranging from file backup to complex projects requiring large processing capabilities, such as data analysis or artificial intelligence.
