What exactly is Cloud computing? In a nutshell Cloud computing comes into focus when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. What is Cloud service? A Cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional on-premise solutions:

• Services are provided to you on demand
• It's elastic - you can have as much or as little of a service as you want at any given time, which means you only pay for what you need.
• The service is managed is by Dataprise - all you need is a personal computer and internet access

IT software and services hosted on remote servers and accessed over the Internet are exceptionally reliable, always available and secure. Most importantly - you don’t have to invest in costly hardware. If you’ve been looking for affordable, scalable services that just work, Cloud computing is for you.  

20 Ways Your Business Can Benefit From General Technique Cloud Services

13. Ease of Collaboration: Saving and accessing files through the cloud allows everyone to work from the same master document. Administrators can even implement access and permission controls.
14. Improves Efficiency – After migrating to the cloud, companies no longer worry about power requirements, space considerations or software updates
