The practice of storing regularly used computer data on multiple servers that can be accessed through the Internet is called cloud computing
Cloud Computing offers the ability to access software or information that can be delivered over the internet, on demand, without the need to store it locally. In cloud computing, applications are provided and managed by the cloud server and data is also stored remotely in the cloud configuration. Users do not download and install applications on their own device or computer; all processing and storage is maintained by the cloud server.

There are three basic kinds of cloud service models.

- Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
- Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
