cloud-based

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Cloud-based' refers to applications, services, or resources that are stored on servers accessed over the internet, rather than on a user's personal device or a single local server. It's like your stuff is stored on a giant computer somewhere!

Examples in Different Contexts

In sustainability initiatives, 'cloud-based' monitoring systems can track environmental data in real-time. An environmental analyst might report, 'Our cloud-based system detected a significant decrease in air quality today.'
