Cloud service providers make storage space, servers, computing capacities or software available to their customers in large data centers. Users access the services in the cloud via private data networks or the internet. The time-consuming installation and maintenance of in-house computer systems is therefore no longer necessary. The costs and planning of cloud computing are more efficient and easier to plan.

The three levels of cloud computing services are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS).

The specialist articles in the Cloud Computing category describe how to successfully master the migration to the cloud. Suggested solutions and information on the new cloud technologies and cloud providers.
