Cloud computing is an infrastructure and software model that enables ubiquitous access to shared storage pools, networks, servers and applications.

It allows data processing on a privately owned cloud or on a third-party server. This creates maximum speed and reliability. But the biggest advantages are its ease of installation, low maintenance and scalability. In this way, it grows with your needs.

IaaS and SaaS cloud computing has been skyrocketing since 2009, and it's all around us now. You're probably reading this on the cloud right now.

For some perspective on how important cloud storage and computing are to our daily lives, here are 8 real-world examples of cloud computing:

Examples of Cloud Storage

Ex: Dropbox, Gmail, Facebook

The number of online cloud storage providers is increasing every day, and each is competing on the amount of storage that can be provided to the customer.

Right now, Dropbox is the clear leader in streamlined cloud storage, allowing users to access files through their application or website on any device with up to 1 terabyte of free storage.

Gmail, Google's email service provider, on the other hand, offers unlimited storage on the cloud. Gmail has revolutionized the way we send email and is largely responsible for the increasing use of email across the world.

Facebook is a mixture of both in that it can store an infinite amount of information, pictures and videos on your profile. Then they can be easily accessed on multiple devices. Facebook goes a step further with its Messenger app, which allows profiles to exchange data.

Examples of Marketing Cloud Platforms

Ex: Maropost for Marketing, Hubspot, Adobe Marketing Cloud

Marketing Cloud is an end-to-end digital marketing platform for customers to manage contacts and target leads. Maropost Marketing Cloud combines easy-to-use marketing automation and hyper-targeting of leads. Plus, making sure email arrives in the inbox, thanks to its advanced email delivery capabilities.

In general, marketing clouds fill the need for personalization, and this is important in a market that demands messaging to be "more human". So communicating that your brand is here to help will make all the difference in closing.

Examples of Cloud Computing in Education

Ex: SlideRocket, Ratatype, Amazon Web Services

Education is rapidly adopting advanced technology as students already are. Therefore, to modernize classrooms, teachers have introduced e-learning software like SlideRocket.

SlideRocket is a platform that students can use to create and submit presentations, and students can also present them over the cloud via web conferencing. Another tool teachers use is RataType, which helps students learn to type faster and offers online typing tests to track their progress.

Amazon's AWS Cloud for K12 and Primary Education is a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution for school administration. The cloud allows instructors and students to access teaching and learning software on multiple devices.

Examples of Cloud Computing in Healthcare

Ex: ClearDATA, Dell's Secure Healthcare Cloud, IBM Cloud

Cloud computing allows nurses, physicians and administrators to quickly share information from anywhere. It also saves on costs by allowing large data files to be shared quickly for maximum convenience. This is a huge boost to efficiency.

Ultimately, cloud technology ensures that patients receive the best possible care without unnecessary delay. The patient's status can also be updated in seconds through remote conferencing.

However, many modern hospitals have not yet implemented cloud computing, but are expected to do so soon.

Examples of Cloud Computing for Government

Uses: IT consolidation, shared services, citizen services

The US government and military were early adopters of cloud computing. Under the Obama administration to accelerate cloud adoption across departments, the U.S. The federal cloud computing strategy was introduced.

According to the strategy: "The focus will shift from the technology itself to the core competencies and mission of the agency."

US Government's cloud includes social, mobile and analytics technologies. However, they must adhere to strict compliance and security measures (FIPS, FISMA, and FedRAMP). This is to protect against cyber threats both domestically and abroad.
