First let’s see how it works, and then we'll see how it helps you.
Cloud involves the large number of computer servers and other resources as a group. These are made available, in the form of their combined capacity. Cloud computing users are either Publishers (those who deploys the application on cloud) or Consumers (those who accesses these applications).
Now you know how it works, so let’s see if these benefits interest you…
1. No Maintenance: No client-side application deployment or maintenance.
2. No Capital Investments: Initial IT investments involved in traditional hosting server-based solutions, are avoided.
3. Reduced upgrade costs: Over time, as technology progresses, existing resources become obsolete. In traditional on-premise hosting, we always need to upgrade hardware. In cloud computing, what you worry is paying only usage fees.
4. Ready to use: We can cut down time spent in setting up the initial hardware and software installations.
5. Scalability: Applications can now quickly scale up or scale down their usage of services as per market demands, during peak hours of activity.
6. Reduced operating Costs : Operating costs are reduced drastically, almost 6 times less. (I will write a separate post for this)
7. More Focus on real work: People now can worry about their actual business and writing applications around it rather than how to build and maintain infrastructure to support those apps.
The list is long, but for a time being, lets stick to simplicity.
In next post, we'll try to cover its risks as well. Till that time enjoy virtualization with dilbert. :-)
