Let's understand cloud computing through an example

Assume you are the head of a big company, initially, there were only ten people so it was easy to manage data storage for these employees but as the company grows the count of employees keeps on increasing it becomes too difficult to manage resources for these many employees, so you as a head hired an online service for data storage and other services.
