What is a cloud data warehouse?

Quote

A cloud data warehouse is a single location for data, but stored in the cloud, on servers that are not owned by an organization. It enables businesses to gather, store, process and analyze significant volume of structured and semi-structured data. A cloud data warehouse can be scaled to accommodate business requirements for computing and storage, allowing it to fit the needs of businesses with variable workloads. It also enables data integration from other applications, databases, websites and sources. Cloud data warehouses enable companies to leverage the power of reporting, business intelligence, analytics, forecasting and data-driven decision making without the heavy investment in traditional hardware and infrastructure.
