Five Basics of Cloud Computing
As cloud computing continues to grow and change business as we know it, there remains a lack of knowledge and understanding about even the simplest elements of the technology. To help,Forbes recently published an article with five basic principles that everyone looking to implement the cloud should know:
- There are two versions of cloud to know about – SaaS and IaaS
- Cloud computing services offer greater flexibility in delivering IT services
- Cloud computing gives you the ability to refresh an aging infrastructure without incurring CAPEX costs
- Cloud is an economical way to support more users and new IT services
- Cloud frees up staff for other projects
As you can see, cloud computing can be many things to different companies. The great thing about cloud computing is that the services can help companies be more responsive to market conditions, all while reducing IT costs.
