What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing refers to running applications remotely over the Internet (“cloud”). Contrary to the traditional model, in which applications are executed by a physical server in the company, with the cloud computing service, companies no longer need to invest in hardware and operating systems to run any type of application, since the provider itself will take care of all the necessary infrastructure.
In this way, the IT manager gains more time to develop strategic roles, since he no longer needs to commit his effort in maintaining the local infrastructure.
