Cloud computing gives enterprises access to abundant on-demand resources and technologies available in the cloud. So what is a cloud? All clouds are data centers—often multiple data centers—comprised of compute and storage resources connected by a network. These resources are virtualized into a shared pool of resources, which can be intelligently orchestrated to meet the ever-changing demands of enterprise applications and workloads. Businesses can use cloud resources to enhance operations while reducing costs associated with on-premises hardware. Cloud computing—with a mix of service, deploym
