We all have been hearing about cloud computing since a long now. People generally imagine they will never know where the actual server is located, will have the highest level of resiliency, connectivity would be blazing fast and all this would come at dirt cheap prices....
So lets understand why cloud -
Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities.
Benefits of Cloud -
- Reduced CostCloud technology is paid incrementally, saving organizations money.
- Increased StorageOrganizations can store more data than on private computer systems.
- Highly Automated
No longer do IT personnel need to worry about keeping software up to date. - FlexibilityCloud computing offers much more flexibility than past computing methods.
- More Mobility
Employees can access information wherever they are, rather than having to remain at their desks. - Allows IT to Shift Focus
No longer having to worry about constant server updates and other computing issues, government organizations will be free to concentrate on innovation.
So, Cloud computing is full of benefits and you wont have to spend thousands of dollars upfront to make a server/application live.
With all thanks to developers who had this agility possible.
Happy Clouding
