Cloud Service Providers (CSP) are companies that offer network services, infrastructure, and business applications in the cloud environment. The cloud services are hosted in a data center that can be accessed by companies or individuals using network connectivity.

The large benefit of using a CSP is efficiency and economies of scale.
