What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management or provider interaction. As the industry leading cloud consultant, 9thnetworks has helped organizations leverage cloud computing to avoid millions of dollars in capital expenditure and cut operating costs by as much as 70% – all while improving the scalability of their IT infrastructure and applications.
