Platforms are the standard environment within a computer.
It is necessary to provide, customize, and operate systems and software. Some major, well-known platforms that are installed to run computer software are Windows and macOS, to name a few.
One such platform that has recently become famous for its ability to handle more data and handle complex programs with ease is the cloud.
In today's world where we can do many things using networks, we often use platforms without even knowing it.
For example, it is used for online shopping mediums such as Rakuten and Amazon, which are platforms that provide a place for companies to open stores and buy and sell products. This is useful because customer information and other data obtained in this process can be handled within platforms.
Since platforms are the foundation for running software, data handling and program operation are performed on the appropriate Platforms for each device. In the case of a computer, the platform is Windows, etc. In the case of a game, the game device itself functions as a platform. By establishing respective platforms, it becomes possible to operate complex programs.
Platforms are also important in the cloud, which is used to process information over the internet, and processing capacity varies greatly depending on the specifications of the platform.
Since the cloud is an internet-based platform, it can be easily shared, which is one of its advantages, and it is being increasingly adopted by companies for easy centralized management.
