Cloud computing - model for convenient, on-demand

network access to shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services). Rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.[4]

Cloud computing provides computation, software, data access, and storage services – does not require end-user knowledge of physical location and configuration of the system that delivers services.
