Cloud computing is a new method of computing. Operating within a public, or private cloud (also known as enterprise cloud) allows efficiency within the organization. Compared to traditional data management systems, a cloud reduces the cost, time and energy used. Before cloud computing was an option, an organization would have to buy equipment, find space within the office, provide cooling to the in-house hardware, and outsource IT support to install, secure and maintain the data management system. This is a large reason as to why companies and organizations have moved to a cloud computing method.
