What is a cloud?
A cloud is actually a network that forms a "cloud" with all the computers connected to it. Software, files, servers and databases are not stored offline but online in the cloud and are accessible through the internet. Well-known cloud providers are Azure (Microsoft), AWS (Amazon) and the Google Cloud Platform.
Working in the cloud might be beneficial for blockchain-based projects, but it is not based on the same principle. Cloud computing has a centralized structure for retrieving but also processing data, which is not the case with blockchain.
There are three kinds of cloud services: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). ID2Bytes® provides cloud services of all three forms and - more importantly - the development of apps and tools on a PaaS or IaaS cloud environment. An example of a cloud application developed by us is Plansysteem Online, an online tool used by companies to quickly and easily plan hours and activities of employees.
