Benefits of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing has been considered as the “Next Big Thing” in web design.With this technology, users can access their programs and get storage space online. Cloud computing allows businesses can save a whole deal of capital and maintenance costs of servers.

1. First of all, cloud computing will help reduce hardware costs as businesses would no longer need to spend on advanced and expensive hardware. The client need not buy the fastest computer with maximum memory on the hard drive. Even the simplest computer terminal can connect to the cloud.
2. Second, the data and programs can be retrieved from anywhere at anytime from a computer with Internet access. The data is saved on an offsite location and will not consume hard disk space on the company’s computer network. With the cloud, the client can make the most out of the cloud’s entire processing power.
3. Third, the resources are dynamically provisioned and hence are scalable and elastic. Thus, engineers are spared from worrying about the network’s peak loads. Aside from that, the performance of the network is monitored and the service uses consistent and loosely coupled architectures as its system interface.
4. There are four kinds of cloud deployment models namely public, community, hybrid, and private. Public cloud computing is accessible by the general public through a service provider. Examples of public cloud providers are Amazon AWS, Microsoft, and Google. In community cloud, the infrastructure is shared by organizations with a common concern.
Meanwhile, a hybrid cloud is an infrastructure that is composed of two or more clouds that maintains their uniqueness despite being bounded together. Finally, a private cloud is solely dedicated to a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally.
