What Is Cloud Computing | Sponsors Directory

Cloud computing is a form of Internet-based computing that provides shared resources, software, and information to computers and other devices on-demand, characterized by self-service provisioning and administration. This paradigm, as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), enables network access to a scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual resources. Cloud computing is closely related to [[virtualization|virtualization]] and [[grid-computing|grid computing]], which allow for the creation of virtual machines and the distribution of computing resources across a network, similar to [[edge-computing|edge computing]] and [[fog-computing|fog computing]].
