Cloud Computing, which refers to the concept of dynamically provisioning processing time and storage space from a ubiquitous "cloud" of computational resources, allows users to acquire and release the resources on demand and provide access to data from processing elements, while relegating the physical location and exact parameters of the resources. As the user could see, Cloud Computing means scalability on demand, flexibility to meet business changes and easy to use and manage.
Complex technology, including large scale business applications, are delivered in a simple way through Cloud computing. Clients access applications and resources hosted in the cloud through a Web browser with Internet connection.
The benefits of Cloud hosting technology
The benefits of Cloud hosting technology to end users are manifold. Some of these are -
Swift deployment of Business applications in the Cloud
Cloud hosting technology provides swift deployment of business applications such as Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, Customer relationship management (CRM), or e-commerce applications, on a global scale.
Pay as you go Model
A small and medium size business or SMB pay for only what is required, that is, it only pays for the amount of computing resources that its staff has consumed using the cloud computing and hosting service vendor’s service every month. Cloud hosting services are more economical as you pay on a per use basis. Big and complex business application software is very difficult to run and maintain by a small business on its own premises.
Better Collaboration with Anytime and Anyplace Accessibility via Cloud Hosting
Cloud applications on the Internet can be accessed by an employee where ever he or she is present at that moment of time. Cloud applications move with users on their mobile devices. Users can access the service from their home, share data, and collaborate quickly with each other.
Higher Uptime
Cloud hosting technology provides higher uptime as a cloud is designed from the bottom to top for robust, secure, and maximum network performance. Cloud hosting technology delivers better application level availability than traditional, in house solutions.
Software Installation - Simplified
Business software installation, operation, and maintenance get much simplified with Cloud hosting technology as all the tasks are performed by the host. A client has no need to bother about updating or patching of software.
Small Businesses get Complex Technologies
The benefits of cloud computing technology for small and medium size businesses or SMBs are numerous. Small and medium size businesses’ applications in the cloud are much more robust than small business versions of comparable on premises software. Cloud hosting service providers upgrade them to the latest technology and functionality more swiftly than most small and medium size businesses or SMBs can. Cloud hosting service providers allow small and medium size businesses to get those applications that are too complex for a small or medium size business to deploy on premises. The Cloud hosting technology delivers a lot of new technologies and capabilities to small and medium size businesses or SMBs at a very reasonable price.
Reduced costs
Cloud hosting technology eliminates the need for in house hardware, and thus, reduces expenditure. Server room electric bill gets reduced via Cloud hosting. This saves thousands of dollars per year for a small or medium size business.
Scalability
Cloud hosting technology provides scalability to applications and resources, so you can easily increase resources or add customers at any time.
Backup and Security
Cloud hosting vendor provides very high level of data security and data availability. Disaster recovery technology and data backup technology provided by a cloud hosting vendor far exceed that which a small or medium size business can provide itself. Cloud hosting service provider’s data center ensures data redundancy across its operations. It provides high levels of security for the network.
