The definition for the cloud can seem murky and confusing for many. Essentially the cloud is a vast network of remote servers around the globe which are all connected together and meant to operate as a single ecosystem. These servers are designed to host "virtual" severs that essentially store and manage data, run applications, or deliver content. For example, such as streaming videos, web mail, office productivity software, and social media. Instead of accessing files and data from a local network or personal computer, you are accessing them online from any Internet-capable device—the information will be available anywhere you go and anytime you need it.

There several types of cloud networks, many are a public cloud that shares resources and offers services to the general populous over the internet. For business and government, there are private clouds that and offers services over a secure internal network. Which are typically hosted on-premises.

As well as a community cloud that shares resources only between organizations, such as with government institutions.
