Advantages of Cloud Computing Services

Cloud computing services permit businesses to access enterprise software without investing in new hardware or software. This can save time, money and effort. This allows companies to accelerate their transition from operations to innovations and gain a competitive advantage.

Servers are costly and unless you invest in redundancy, like an array that is redundant and has independent disks, there’s an increased likelihood that some of your servers will go down at any point. Moreover, the maintenance of servers and the space needed to set them up can be costly. Add in the fact that servers require constant cooling, and you’ll have a significant operating expense.

You can access your applications and data from any location with an internet connection. This allows your staff to be more productive on the road, at the office or via their mobile devices.

Cloud computing also permits rapid scaling of virtual resources and storage. You can easily and quickly expand capacity to meet sudden surges in demand. Additionally, you can scale back down as quickly as things slow down. This is referred to as elasticity and is a significant benefit of cloud.

There are only a few big cloud providers with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google taking the most of the market share. The other top contenders are VMware and OpenStack. As the cloud continues its evolution we’re seeing increasing numbers of people embracing multi-cloud strategies. This is partly due to the possibility of vendor lock-in. But it’s also due to the greater flexibility when working with multiple providers.
