What is Cloud Services?
Cloud services refer to a broad range of on-demand computing resources delivered over the internet. These services include infrastructure, software, and platforms that enable businesses and individuals to store data, run applications, and access IT resources remotely. Cloud services are generally scalable, cost-effective, and allow users to access information and tools from anywhere, making them ideal for flexible, efficient, and collaborative work environments.
Examples include data storage (like Google Drive or Dropbox), computing power (such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure), and SaaS applications (like Office 365 or Salesforce).
Software as a Service
SaaS is a cloud-based software delivery model where applications are hosted, maintained, and updated by a service provider and delivered to customers over the internet.
