What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is the delivery of services including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence over the Internet to offer faster innovation, flexible resources.
Cloud computing technology gives access to storage, files, software, and servers through their internet-connected devices likes computers, smartphones, tablets, and wearables. Cloud computing providers store and process data in a location that’s separate from end users.
Benefits of cloud computing
- Agility
- Elasticity
- Cost savings
- Deploy globally in minutes
How does cloud computing work?
One benefit of using cloud-computing services is that firms can avoid the upfront cost and complexity of owning and maintaining their own IT infrastructure, and instead simply pay for what they use, when they use it.
Cloud computing components
- Data centers
- Networking capabilities
- Virtualization
Types of cloud Services
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
Your cloud infrastructure can be organized in several ways
- Public Cloud
- Private Cloud
- Community Cloud
- Hybrid Clouds
What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing?
Cloud computing is not necessarily cheaper than other forms of computing, just as renting is not always cheaper than buying in the long term. If an application has a regular and predictable requirement for computing services it may be more economical to provide that service in-house.
SaaS application may also mean you are using the same applications as a rival, which might make it hard to create any competitive advantage if that application is core to your business.
