Which of the following best describes cloud computing?

Cloud computing is a technology that uses the internet and remote servers to store and manage data, instead of using a local server or a personal computer. It allows users to access their data and applications anywhere, anytime, as long as they have an internet connection. This technology provides a way for businesses to increase their IT capacity or functionality quickly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that extends IT's existing capabilities in real time over the internet.
