The term “cloud” and “data center” may interchangeable technical or trendy buzz words
referring to the same infrastructure, but the two computing systems have less in
common than the fact that they both store data.
The main difference between a cloud and a data center is that a cloud is an off- premise
form of computing that stores data on the Internet, whereas a data center refers to on-
premise hardware that stores data within an organization’s local network.
