👉 Administered computing, often referred to as managed or cloud computing, involves the provision and management of computing resources—such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics—over the internet by a third-party provider. This model allows businesses and individuals to access computing resources on-demand without the need for significant upfront investment in hardware or infrastructure. Instead, they pay for only what they use, which can be scaled up or down based on their needs. Managed computing services include not only the physical infrastructure but also the software, security, and maintenance, allowing users to focus on their core business operations while the provider handles the complexities of IT management. This approach enhances flexibility, reduces operational costs, and improves efficiency by leveraging advanced technologies like virtualization, automation, and artificial intelligence.
