When the famous poet William Wordsworth wrote I wandered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high o’er vales and hills he might have never imagined even in his wildest dreams that cloud might one day refer to computers, information technology (IT) and software applications access through a network/internet connection.
Cloud is a vast network of remote servers around the globe which are hooked together and meant to operate as a single ecosystem. IT resources, services, storage, backup, software program applications or an entire infrastructure can live in the cloud.
