Cloud computing is a technology that uses remote servers and the internet to maintain data and applications. It allows users to access files and use software from any device with an internet connection, without needing to install anything. This makes computing more efficient by centralizing storage, processing, bandwidth and other resources. Common examples are webmail services like Gmail that can be accessed from any device. While the technology is growing, a 2011 study found that over 90% of senior IT professionals and two-thirds of finance professionals did not fully understand cloud computing at that time.

2.  Cloud computing is a technology that
uses the internet and central remote
servers to maintain data and applications.
Cloud computing allows consumers and
businesses to use applications without
installation and access their personal files
at any computer with internet access. This
technology allows for much more inefficient
computing by centralizing
storage, memory, processing and
bandwidth.

3. A simple example of cloud computing is
Yahoo email, Gmail, or Hotmail etc. You
don”t need a software or a server to use
them. All a consumer would need is just
an internet connection and you can start
sending emails. The server and email
management software is all on the cloud
(internet) and is totally managed by the
cloud service provider Yeah , Google etc.
The consumer gets to use the software
alone and enjoy the benefits.

7. In June 2011, a study conducted by
VersionOne found that 91% of senior
IT professionals actually don't know
what cloud computing is and two-
thirds of senior finance professionals
are clear by the concept,highlighting
the young nature of the technology..

organizations are investing in research around the
topic of cloud computing
In October 2007 the
Academic Cloud Computing Initiative (ACCI) was
announced as a multi-university project designed
to enhance students' technical knowledge to
address the challenges of cloud computing
