Good day, beautiful people!
I know that, given the current situation, all our heads are in the clouds. We're anxious and scared about what's to come. However, I believe it would be a good idea if we anchored our minds to another sort of cloud. THE. CLOUD.
Cloud Computing, one of the most amazing technological marvels of the decade and most definitely of the decades to come, now proves itself useful more than ever. But how exactly does it help?
The following article will thus showcase the benefits the Cloud Computing brings to an enterprise that chooses to opt for this sort of technology in order to streamline its internal processes. Let us find the advantages below.
INCREASED SPEED
Experiencing latency on your old, outdated system? Time to upgrade to Cloud Computing. Say goodbye to that kind of problems, because this technology is Tomorrow-proof, and, even considering the passing of time, will be able to withstand the increase in data processing requirements.
To back that statement, there have been studies carried out precisely on this specific matter. Turns out the upgrade to Cloud Computing yields at least (could be even more!) a 6 times faster overall system speed than traditional computing methods. Conviced?
LOWER OPEX
Ah, yes. I personally love this term - 'OPEX'. And especially when it's low. Cloud Computing does exactly that - it keeps your OPEX low. How? Because everything being stored in the Cloud, the need for huge physical storing space is long gone. Instead of focusing on data center maintenance or bug fixing, IT engineers can now channel their efforts towards innovation, which results in added-value for the enterprise.
What's more, not having to be plugged in to the power socket 24/7 like traditional equipment, there is no more energy bill coming. No more downtime either, as everything is happening inside the CLOUD.
ENHANCED SCALABILITY
Enhanced scalability is one of the things that is mostly appreciated by the specialists in this field. The fact that Cloud Computing withstands network expansion in times of growing need for bandwitdht, as well as downscaling whenever the environment requires so is more than ideal.
This... elasticity characteristic, corroborated with the pay-as-you-go function supported by the Cloud Computing technology is of essence for enterprises, as studies show that it positively affects productivity.
GREATER AVAILABILITY
What a great word this is. 'Availability'... has a positive connotation attached to it and is definitely liked by any manager. Availability is what defines Cloud architecture, as it can easily open the path for accessing all digital tools and data in a matter of 'NOW', not 'once we get this fixed' - the Cloud does not require updating or patching.
Uptime is 100% guaranteed with Cloud Computing, because all services are hosted on VIRTUAL, rather than physical machines.
ATTACK-PROOF SECURITY
Put simply, Cloud technology is hacking, internal data theft and infection-proof. The use of robust firewalls boasting systems designed to prevent unwanted intrusion of malware or viruses is a must in this industry, Cloud providers being aware of this and ensuring compliance with security regulations.
'VPN' is the keyword here - the cybersecurity measure easing the transition from traditional office to the Cloud.
The bottom line is that all things considered, the iminent Cloudification of systems can bring valuable benefits to enterprises, benefits that can be taken advantage of by switching to this technology.
