Stratus cloud Stratus cloud Stratus clouds are low-level clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a uniform base, as opposed to convective or cumuliform clouds that are formed by rising thermals. More specifically, the term "stratus" is used to describe flat, hazy, featureless clouds of low altitude varying in color from dark gray to nearly white. The word "stratus" comes from the Latin prefix "strato-", meaning "layer". Stratus clouds may produce a light drizzle or a small amount of snow. These clouds are essentially above-ground fog formed either through the lifting of morning fog or through cold air moving at low altitudes over
Cloud printing options do simplify the printing process, all the print data must travel through the public cloud as it makes its journey from device to printer. It also means no printing is possible when the cloud is too slow or when there is a connection outage. Since some clouds charge on inbound and/or outbound traffic, heavy print jobs can have a significant cost. True cloud print solutions do not require any on-premise server in the company complementing the cloud, whether that is a print server or an application server, or a "gateway" service. Today many solution providers just interface an on-premise
