Cloud computing refers to the use of multiple server-based computational resources through a digital network. In cloud computing, applications are provided and managed by the cloud server and data is also stored remotely in the cloud configuration. Users do not download and install applications on their own device or computer; all processing and storage is maintained by the cloud server. The online services may be offered from a cloud provider or by a private organisation. It operates on a pay-per-use model, helping companies to cut costs as they do not have to invest heavily in infrastructure.
Citing healthcare as an example where cloud services could come in handy, he said a national depository of health records could be created. The health data could be accessed by the hospitals or health practitioners through authentication. They could also update the records in future and these could be linked to insurance companies to process claims.
