Cloud hosting has gained a significant amount of
popularity in recent years because of all of the benefits that it offers. Here
are just a few advantages of cloud computing.
·
Cost
◦ Perhaps the best perk of choosing a cloud hosting package
is the associated cost savings. With cloud hosting you can expect to
substantially decrease capital costs, as there will be no application and
server storage requirements. Not to mention that your power, administration and
air conditioning costs associated with having an in house IT infrastructure
will dramatically decrease. Another great cost savings with cloud computing is
that you only pay for the IT resources that you use.
·
Scalability
◦ Cloud computing has the ability to optimize a business’s
IT resources by being able to pull resources from server hardware to meet your
organizations various requirements. To say it in another way, hosting on the
cloud ensures that computing power is always available and that your resources
never stay idle.
·
No Physical Restraints
◦ Cloud computing does not rely on a single physical server
like traditional hosting packages do. Instead, cloud computing uses virtual
servers to pull resources from physical servers in an underlying network. In
other words, there are not the physical constraints that are posed by relying
on a single server. And in the event that one server in your cloud goes down, you’re
hosting services and applications simply attain resources from other available
servers in your cloud. In fact, your resources can be pulled from multiple data
centers in multiple locations.
·
Reliability
◦ Cloud hosting offers more consistency and reliability
than an IT infrastructure that is in-house. Cloud hosting offers high level
redundancy because of the monumental pool of IT
resources, ensuring you have the resources you need when you need them.
Not to mention, cloud computing allows you to access data and applications,
anytime and anywhere, all you need is an internet connection.
