Cloud computing allows users to access computer data and software over the internet rather than locally. It provides scalable computing resources and software as a service delivered via web browsers. Key benefits include scalability, device and location independence, lower costs due to pay-per-use models, reliability through multiple data centers, and not having to worry about software maintenance and hardware upgrades. A demonstration of Google Apps for Business was provided to illustrate cloud applications.
