What is the definition of Cloud Computing?

What are some major advantages to Cloud Computing?

Security

Because your data is stored within the Cloud you have access to it wherever you are, whether that’s on the train, in the office or out and about. You’ll no longer have that sense of dread when you’ve left files on your work desktop, with everything in the cloud you can access it around the world. No more rushing back to the office to get your work, you can simply open up a device and log on. Cloud providers perform regular security audits to make sure their security is up to date always, keeping all your content, files and data safe.

Flexibility

Every organisation’s goal is to grow, develop and succeed and with Cloud Computing you can do that. You can scale up and scale down your cloud capacity, this scalability is within the Cloud resources so can be called upon whenever and wherever.

Collaboration

Results from the Cloud Security Alliance show that 79% of companies receiver regular requests from users to buy more cloud applications with file sharing and collaboration services. Cloud Computing is designed with collaboration in mind, it lets individuals edit documents in real time together, from anywhere in the globe. Your teams are able to do more together because they have the potential to do more together at their fingertips.

Environment

Cloud Computing hosts all data in the cloud, reducing your need for on-site servers. Businesses can downsize their data centres (or get rid completely), using less resources and money. Cloud Computing reduces organisations carbon footprints, no longer taking up large amounts of resource and storage for hefty data centres.

Costs

Cloud Computing cuts out capital expenditure costs completely, you’ve no longer got the need to spend large amounts of money on servers, data centres and all the stuff that comes with it. You no longer need to hire high-tech support teams to fix sever issues because your Cloud provider will do it all for you. And a bonus is you only pay for what you use, you’re no longer over-spending because you haven’t downsized in a while, with the Cloud you only pay for exactly what you’re using.
