What is the Cloud?

Imagine a CEO of a company large enough responsibility to ensure that all employees are equipped with the proper software and hardware they need to perform their duties. It is not enough to simply buy workstations because it's just a piece of the puzzle, you must also purchase software and licenses for your employees the tools they need to do their job. Every time you hire a new employee, make sure you have the same tools at their disposal - either by buying more, or in the case of software, confirms that the license covers a different user.

This is where cloud computing comes - when you think about the needs of your company. You need a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure or permits, or employee training time and money to spend. So what is cloud computing? The definition depends on who you ask.
