Cloud solutions enable the use of IT services over the Internet, providing easy access to servers, storage, databases and an extensive set of application services. Cloud technologies allow you to perform tasks at any time and from any place.
Realizing the benefits of cloud technologies, many businesses have selected cloud computing in their operations in the past few years. Today, the cloud is a new model of information technology consumption.
Here we list the top advantages of cloud computing:
Profitability
For small and medium business owners, the acquisition of full-fledged server equipment is redundant and financially impractical. Therefore, business people are increasingly turning to cloud technologies that allow automating the system with minimal cost. One of the most important advantages of cloud hosting is the ability to get additional features at any time when you need them and pay only for the resources that you use. Also, the use of remote resources allows organizations to avoid the cost of purchasing servers and other equipment.
Flexibility
Another important advantage of cloud computing is flexibility. The cloud allows you to easily increase power consumption tens or even hundreds of times. As already mentioned, cloud services help to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of companies. Through virtualization technology, it’s possible to customize applications on your own and access the service at any time and from any location. Employees can complete tasks both in the office and from outside because all data is stored in a single cloud system and all they need is a fast internet connection.
According to statistics, up to 42% of office workers would accept a lower salary, in exchange for the opportunity to work from home, and this also means that switching to the cloud can also reduce your labor costs.
Data security
Storing data in the cloud is as safe as to store it on physical servers. The same security tools are used, for example, access to virtual servers from the outside is restricted by firewalls with protection against DDoS attacks. Storing data in the cloud allows you to remotely delete confidential information at any time or transfer it to another account.
What will happen if the virtual network fails?
Typically, such failures do not occur at all, as the network elements are redundant, as well as data traffic providers. If one network location is in such danger then another service location will be used to deploy services and maintain the down network services. Meanwhile, this process will not cause any downtime on the website.
No need in a backup
Another important advantage is that with cloud computing you have no need in backups. Because data loss is almost impossible. Data will always be available as long as users have an internet connection. You do not need to buy, install, configure hardware and software to organize the process of creating and storing backup copies.
Availability
Cloud computing is one of the most effective ways to increase team productivity.
Staff members can easily share real-time data and updates with field workers. Moving your business to cloud computing can not only increase efficiency and productivity but also save costs. Global access means that experts located in different parts of the world can work together.
