GLOSSARY > CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud Computing

The delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet.

While Cloud Computing provides infinite elastic scale, the era of enterprise AI has forced a re-evaluation of its usage due to strict data privacy laws and extreme egress costs. This has led to the rise of hybrid architectures where training occurs in the cloud, but inference is locked down within On-Premises Private AI infrastructure.
