Definite Definition

Cloud computing refers to the use of remote servers, databases, and data centers to store data, files, and documents, run applications, and even build applications.

Essentially, it shifts the burden of managing and purchasing cost-intensive hardware and appliances away from the user.

The key word here is remote. It highlights the fact that these data centers, databases, and servers are located away from the user.

However, they can be accessed from anywhere, as long as there's an internet connection.
