BRETT PARKER SAP  - THE CLOUD

The definition of the cloud may seem unclear, but it is basically a term used to describe a worldwide network of servers, each with a unique function.

The cloud is not a physical entity, but a huge network of remote servers around the world that are connected to function as a single ecosystem.

These servers are designed to store and manage data, run applications or deliver content or services, such as streaming videos, webmail, office software or social media.

Instead of accessing files and data from a personal or local computer, access them online from any device connected to the Internet, that is, the information is available wherever you go and whenever you need it.

Companies use four different methods to implement resources in the cloud.

There is a public cloud, which shares resources and offers services to the public through the Internet; a private cloud, which is not shared and offers services through a private internal network, normally hosted in the local environment; a hybrid cloud, which shares services between public and private clouds, according to its purpose; and a community cloud, which shares resources only among organizations, for example, with government institutions.
