Cloud and infrastructure
Digital infrastructure means hardware and software. It Includes physical and virtual “cloud” storage spaces.
Digital infrastructure includes hardware and software components that build the foundation of information technology systems. When you save a file online instead of on your own computer, you’re saving it virtually in “the cloud.” The cloud is a network of remote servers, storage, databases, and other resources accessed over the internet, rather than being maintained onsite in a physical data center.
