FREMONT, CA: The concept of cloud computing is not new and has been around for approximately 20 years. Despite being there for a long time, many companies are still working in an old-fashioned way and are reluctant to embrace it. No doubt, there are some risks pertaining to the adoption of this new age technology, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. There are number of other reasons to embrace it and experience it, which are discussed in this article.
Get Rid of Hardware and its Costs
It is considerably cheaper to rent a cloud computing service and use it than to own a server. The cloud computing service can be rented by just paying a subscription-like fee, which gets easily distributed in the cash flow system of a company. Cloud computing also averts the risk of data damage due to the breakdown of hardware or for any other reason. It costs a substantial amount to the budget to repair those damages and recover the data. Data in the cloud are far from getting damaged, and if also they get, the service provider has the responsibility to recover them.
Unlimited Flexibility
The business with fluctuating operations and bandwidth requirements must look forward to cloud computing services at the earliest. Businesses face ups and downs because of on-and-off seasons. Cloud supports the flexibility a business needs throughout the year as they face ups and downs. Besides keeping the company stay on top, the cloud enables access to remote servers during the high time and vice-versa. Cloud provides operational agility to a company, thus giving them a real advantage over their competitors.
No Software Updates
To keep the businesses, or more specifically, software safe from corrupted files and bugs, it needs to be updated from time to time. Software updates keep the entire business operation protected and secured, but is quite a hectic thing to do. While using the cloud, businesses stay far away from updates. The servers and their maintenance are the responsibility of the cloud service providers. Companies don't even need to know when the updates are done for the last time and how long their perks are going to stay. This saves a considerable amount of time to the companies which they can use for other productive purposes.
