Cloud computing offers compute resources like CPU, network, and disk capabilities on-demand over the internet, allowing users to access and use computing power in a remote physical location.

-
We generally differentiate between private and public cloud, depending on whether the cloud infrastructure is exclusively dedicated to an organization or shared for open public services.

Cloud computing offers CPU power, storage, and network capabilities over the internet,

enabling scalable and flexible access to resources across global data centers.
10

It spans private clouds, dedicated to single organizations for security and control,
11

and public clouds, open for widespread use, optimizing cost and scalability.

## Problem it addresses
12

13
-
Organizations traditionally faced two main challenges when attempting to expand computing power.
14
-
They could either acquire, support, and design (new) facilities to host their physical servers and network or expand and maintain existing ones.
15
-
Cloud computing solves that challenge by allowing organizations to outsource some of their computing needs.
15
+
Traditionally, organizations needing more computing capacity had to choose between costly investments in new server facilities or upgrades to existing infrastructure, a slow and resource-heavy process.

## How it helps

-
Cloud providers allow organizations to rent compute resources on-demand and pay for usage, delivering two key benefits.
20
-
First, organizations can focus on their product or service without waiting, planning, and spending resources on new physical infrastructure. And second, they can simply [scale](/scalability/) on-demand as needed.
21
-
Cloud computing allows organizations to adopt as much or as little infrastructure as they need.
19
+
Organizations can use cloud computing to rent computing resources on demand without the burden of managing physical infrastructure.
20
+
This strategy has two main advantages:
21
+
- It removes the delays and expenses of establishing new infrastructure so organizations can concentrate on their core business.
22
+
- Organizations can [scale](https://github.com/ronitblenz/glossary/blob/cloud_computing/content/en/scalability.md) their resources up or down based on demand, aligning infrastructure with business needs.
23
+
Thus, cloud computing provides an efficient way for organizations to access necessary infrastructure flexibly and economically without excess commitment.
