What is a Cloud Server?

Cloud Sever 

Cloud-based software, also known as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), is a type of software hosted, maintained, and delivered over the internet by a cloud service provider. Instead of being installed on individual computers or local servers, cloud-based software runs on remote servers owned and managed by the provider, accessible to users via the internet.

Characteristics of Cloud Servers

Virtualized: Cloud servers are virtual machines running on a physical server, but multiple cloud servers can exist on a single physical machine.

On-Demand Scalability: They offer scalability, allowing users to easily scale resources up or down based on demand.

Resource Pooling: Resources like CPU, RAM, and storage are pooled together in a cloud environment, allowing flexible allocation.

Pay-Per-Use Model: Cloud servers often follow a pay-as-you-go model, where users pay for the resources they consume.

Advantages:

Scalability: Easily adjust resources to accommodate changing needs.
Cost-Efficiency: Pay only for what you use, avoiding upfront hardware costs.
Reliability: Built-in redundancy and backup systems enhance reliability.
Accessibility: Accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
Quick Deployment: Setting up a cloud server is generally faster compared to physical servers.
