Cloud Computing (الحوسبة السحابية)

Cloud computing delivers computing resources — servers, storage, databases, and AI services — over the internet on demand. Instead of owning hardware, businesses rent capacity from providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and scale up or down as needed.

In detail

Cloud computing turned IT from a capital expense into an operating one. Providers run enormous data centers and rent out compute, storage, networking, and managed services by the second. Companies can launch infrastructure in minutes, scale globally, and pay only for what they use. Service models range from raw virtual machines (IaaS) to managed platforms (PaaS) to ready software (SaaS). The cloud also unlocks advanced capabilities like GPU-powered AI, managed databases, and global CDNs. For most modern businesses — including AI call centers — the cloud is the default foundation for speed, resilience, and cost efficiency.

Practical example

A company moves its call-center platform to the cloud so it can handle holiday call spikes without buying new servers.
