WHAT IS THE CLOUD
Cloud Computing Explained
You may hear the term ‘the Cloud’, but what does it actually mean and is it right for your business? ‘Cloud’ is used as a metaphor for “the Internet,” so the phrase cloud computing means a type of Internet-based computing. Different services including servers, storage and applications are delivered to a company’s computers and devices through the Internet. It plays an integral part of every business in the current world and Softlink Solutions can help you adopt, migrate and support.

Being able to access cloud-based applications and your data from any internet-connected device becomes crucial. You can virtually work from anywhere and from most devices.
