Skytjenestene

Skytjenestene, often referred to as cloud services, represent a model for delivering computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the internet ("the cloud") to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. Instead of owning and managing physical data centers and servers, users can access technology services on an as-needed basis from a cloud provider.

There are three main types of skytjenester. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides fundamental computing resources like virtual machines and storage. Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers a platform for developing, running, and managing applications without the complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure. Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers software applications over the internet, typically on a subscription basis, such as email or customer relationship management systems.

Companies and individuals leverage skytjenestene for various benefits, including cost savings, improved scalability, increased flexibility, enhanced security, and better disaster recovery. They allow organizations to avoid significant upfront investments in hardware and software and instead pay for services as they consume them. The accessibility and on-demand nature of skytjenestene have transformed how businesses operate and how technology is consumed globally.
