Cloud computing can redefine the way you do business. Businesses now face an array of cloud computing services that can help them streamline operations, cut costs and enhance their competitiveness. With cloud technology, you can access hardware, software and storage over the internet, from anywhere. This makes it possible to operate more efficiently since you can use your own infrastructure or even a third-party provider’s infrastructure to store, process and analyze data. 

Having a cloud solution integration is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics (On-demand self-service, Broad network access, Resource pooling, Rapid elasticity and Measured service)

Cloud services can provide everything from the infrastructure to store information remotely over the internet, to software that lets you access it in different ways.
