It is easy to talk about cloud computing, but it is often more complicated to identify what cloud computing is and why it is the best choice for most businesses. The easiest and most basic way to understand cloud computing is to think of it as a delivery method.
An Overview of the Cloud
With a traditional in-house server, the programs, software, and data for the business are stored on that one server. Anytime anyone accesses that data or software, it uses some of the server resources, limiting how fast the server can continue providing computing resources. With a single server, the speed, storage, and the system are limited by the capacity of the server.
With cloud computing, there are multiple servers that are working together to provide the storage, software, and services to businesses that are using the cloud. In other words, the services and programs are not house individually but collectively, allowing for rapid access, exceptional computing capabilities, and limitless storage for companies.
When to Use Cloud Computing
Any size or type of business using computing resources will benefit from migrating to the cloud. It offers a lower-cost, pay for what you use, high performance system. At the same time, the business has no overhead or initial costs of purchasing servers and hardware and no need for the costly maintenance of in-house servers, backup power supplies, and specialized cooling and environmental control.
The speed, capacity, and productivity of the cloud, combined with the high degree of flexibility and scalability, make cloud computing the right option for virtually any small business to large company. Contact Business Name for more information.
