Cloud computing is a reality; it’s mainstream. Soon enough, we believe that it’ll be one of those technologies that we’ll come to rely upon. Margaret Lewis writes on Forbes.com stating resolutely that “Cloud computing is here to stay”. Of course, it’ll will. Here are the reasons why it will:
Truly, it’s as inexpensive as it can get
When pitted against the prospect of setting up large networks, data centers, and investing thousands of dollars in infrastructure & equipment, cloud computing hits it right on the head with its ever-appealing cost advantage. IT providers, Cloud Computing vendors allow you to share infrastructure. In effect, you pay for what you use and never have to worry about installations, maintenance, hardware investments, software upgrades, or repairs.
It’s all out of the box
Almost all of the cloud based services work instantly, right out of the box. It’s really only about choosing your provider, setting the scale and scope of the services you need, and that’s all there is to it. There’s no hardware procurement you’ll need to focus on. Even when using complex software code or applications or database solutions, you’ll not have to deal with capital expenditure.
Scale up and down, as you please
Cloud computing solutions are perfect for start-ups especially because of the above reasons and the fact that you can always scale up or down as needed. Do you project the company to grow fairly quickly? Scale up. Would you like to trim down a little? Scale down. In short, you never have to worry about over-investment or under-investment.
Go mobile, in style
The cloud is essentially on the Internet. Once the doors are opened to the Internet, your network can tether to not just the desktops but also to the increasing range of laptops, mobile devices and gadgets today. If you can connect to the Internet using any of these contraptions, your cloud service is available for you even while on the move.
