Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Typically, when not using cloud computing, you would purchase servers from a company like Dell, install them in racks in a data center, and operate them in-house.
This type of environment that does not use the cloud is called on-premises.
