Few words about cloud computing
Cloud computing delivers distinct types of computing services-servers, storage, networking, database, analytics and much more remotely to the clients via the internet. Or simply, cloud computing is explained as instead of the computer hardware and software, sitting on your desktop inside your company’s network, provided to you as a service by another company and accessed in a seamless way over the internet.
The more precise meaning of cloud computing is the delivery of hosted services over the internet. Cloud computing enables the companies the virtualisation and central management of data resources as software-defined pools.
Companies delivering these services to clients are known as cloud providers. Generally, companies charge for delivering services to clients based on usage, or sometimes they charge a monthly or annual service fee. Clients who subscribe to these services can access software and applications wherever they need them without worrying about storage and power; they can simply enjoy the results.
These days, business cloud-based apps are running as they cost less like customer relationship management, HR, Accounting and much more. With a cloud app, you just need to open a browser, login and start using it. With the increasing popularity, some of the largest companies are simply rebranding their products and services as cloud computing. Companies can scale their resources according to the demands through cloud computing, thus eliminating the need for massive investment in any IT infrastructure. AWS (Amazon Web Services), Salesforce’s CRM system, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform exemplify this popular cloud computing notion. Here is the list of things that you can do with the cloud:
- Create and run new apps and services
- Can store, back up and recover data
- Host websites and online services
- Stream audio and video, play games
- Deliver software on demand
- Analyse data and make predictions
