Cloud computing has been described as “the next stage in the Internet’s evolution,” providing the means through which everything – computing power, computing storage, applications, business processes – can be delivered as a service wherever and whenever needed.

Among the most popular and widespread cloud services are online fax services, sometimes known as email-to-fax and fax-to-email services. In the simplest terms, these services associate an email address with a fax number, enabling anyone with an Internet connection and an email address to send/receive faxes.
