Simply put, cloud business computing can be leased instead of buying IT. Instead of making huge investments in databases, software, and hardware, businesses choose to pay for accessing and using computing power over the Internet or the cloud. These cloud services include, but are not limited to, servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and business intelligence

When a corporation selects to "transfer to the cloud," its IT infrastructure is hosted off over a data centre. The management of customer IT infrastructure, the integration of apps and the development of new capabilities and functionalities is the job of an industry-leading cloud provider.
