A SharePoint farm is a collection of SharePoint servers or SQL servers that work in concert to provide a set of basic SharePoint services that support a single site.
The ability of multiple servers to work in conjunction and provide redundancy is important in the cloud, especially for large data centers. One value of such a system is its failovercapabilities -- if any server is incapacitated, another one can take over for it. The servers can also provide readily available backups that can scale to immense sizes.
