You will understand what Cloud Computing is, what it is for, how it works, its advantages and what the main types are. Enjoy reading!

What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is a technological model that provides fantuan database access to software, data processing and file storage via the Internet, without the need for local installation. With scalability and flexibility, it allows users and companies to save on IT infrastructure, adapting to their demands.

This concept can be explained in a didactic way using the example of email account providers.

Companies like Yahoo, Google and Hotmail use applications to manage the flow of messages sent and received, storing them on a server without having to download them to your computer, right? This means you can access your messages from any access point with an internet connection.

Cloud Computing follows the same reasoning, allowing you to access your company's data at any time and from anywhere, as long as you can connect to the internet.

What is Cloud Computing for?
Cloud computing is about providing remote, on-demand access to IT resources, including software, storage, and processing power, via the Internet. Instead of investing in physical infrastructure, servers, and software, you can simply hire these services from a provider.

With cloud-based infrastructure, a company can easily scale up or down its storage and processing capacity as needed without having to invest in additional hardware.

This flexibility provides greater cost savings, in addition to speeding up adaptation to changes in market demands or business needs.
