INSPIRE | EQUIP | CONNECT | The “Cloud” and other IT resources that can be beneficial to nonprofits

Simply stated, the “cloud” is just a large amount of physical servers and storage arrays that are situated in an extremely secure data center and accessed over the Intenet. The servers provide the compute power or the “brains” to make programs work and the storage arrays house all of the data What exactly is “the cloud?”
