Your cloud server will take full advantage of the high speed and increased reliability of the cloud network. Your server?s resources are constantly analyzed and adjusted to compute workloads which guarantee your dedicated cloud servers are never overloaded.
No it's not, spreading gibberish again.

Cloud computing enables you to cluster several servers in different locations. This is not superior and has a much higher fail rate. The bonus is you can use a bunch of cheap computers and link them for what seems like a super computer but really it's just a time bomb. Every major service that rolled over to clouds like Amazon have had more downtime and more load issues, that is definably not superior.

It's a good idea at best but a good connections and round robin dns is better and more reliable as of now.
