Used to connect people and data from anywhere at any time.

Types of cloud computing

Saas(Software as a Service): For Customers

E.g. Salesforce, Gmail, Office 365

Paas(Platform as a Service): For Developers

Don’t have to worry about configuration, provisioning, or understanding the hardware or OS
E.g. Heroku, Google App Engine, Database as a service
