What is 'Cloud Computing'?

Cloud computing is a type of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need no knowledge of or expertise in the technology infrastructure in the "cloud" that supports them. The word cloud is used as a metaphor for the internet. Cloud computing generally incorporates some or all of the following: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS)

What is 'Platform as a Service'?

Also known as PaaS, Platform as a Service describes the IT hardware, software, application frameworks, operating systems and user interfaces, that allows software to run, over the internet as a service.

Return on Investment:

  "The biggest financial benefit of cloud computing, particularly in these capital-constrained times, is avoiding taking on debt and keeping cash in the company longer. If a project uses a cloud-based service provider, then the CFO avoids writing a big check up front. Instead, checks are written monthly or quarterly, in alignment with the return."
