The cloud is a term used to describe a host network server (or group of servers) that provide immediate individual access to programs and applications that would typically require large-capacity memory storage or significant capital investment (in terms of equipment or IT professional staff). Cloud computing is simply a system or model of computing that relies on connecting a user device (i.e. smartphone, tablet or laptop) to a host network server to access capacity, storage and processing power necessary to run a program or application instead of from the user's device hard drive.
