It is called ‘Cloud services’ every program or service that can be accessed via Internet that doesn’t necessarily mean it is connected through a computer.
Generally, Cloud services are made up of various centers that are resposible of processing data using a specialized and installed software for this service. While these centers take care and maintain our data, we can Access them through any device knowing that these have not been moved or erased.
An example of this is when someone acceses a Drive. They just have to connect to the internet, not knowing that at that time they are entering a place where data is stored and processed. Documents stored in the Cloud can be viewed and downloaded.

– Safety: By having copies saved by the same cloud software, it is almost impossible for any document or file to be lost or corrupted, since each of the data is stored, by replication, in other data companies.

a) Infrastructure as a service:
The infrastructure as a service, metaphorically speaking, is at the base of the process of basic storage and standard computing functions. At this point we can mention Amazon Web Services, as an example, because two of the services they offer do so by highlighting the essential types of storage they have. Another example may be Joyent, a company that sells a line of virtualized servers that provide models of infrastructure for managing websites.
b) Platform as a service:
Continuing the metaphor, the platform as a service would be positioned in the middle of the process. It has the function of grouping a series of modules capable of providing more horizontal functionalities, such as messaging, data authentication and so on. In this way, a platform-as-a-service model is constituted by a basic environment of systems or components.
c) Software as a service:
Finally, software as a service is present in the upper layer of the process, since it represents a complete feature, by saving the user the need to install the software on their computers. This model is designed to limit the control of the functions of the users with the service, because it does not have the capacity to modify many things.
