A cloud service can dynamically scale to meet the needs of its users, and because the service provider supplies the hardware and software necessary for the service, there’s no need for a company to provision or deploy its own resources or allocate IT staff to manage the service.
NO SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE AND HIGHLY RELIABLE!
