- Hybrid cloud: Combining public and private cloud systems.
- Cloud computing benefits include cost savings from economies of scale and avoided capital investment.
Quantum Computing
- Quantum computers leverage quantum physics for enhanced computing power, contrasting/outperforming classical computers.
- Data units are qubits, exhibiting multiple/superimposed states simultaneously.
- Qubits can hold more data than regular bits and could tackle sophisticated problems.
