Cloud-computing, the next step on the path to more efficient use of computing resources, is a disruptive

technology that's changing the way enterprises turn to meet their IT software and hardware

requirements. Cloud computing is really a mix of the latest ideas, technology and delivery models

including Infrastructure like a Service (IaaS), Platform like a Service (PaaS) and Software like a Service

(SaaS), as well as other models in the IT sector designed to use the Internet for delivering services to the

user. Users have access to infrastructure namely, the servers, software, information center space or

network equipment; the required computing platform and solution stack to get a building an

application, since the cycle of development, testing, deployment, hosting and maintenance; and in

addition most of the regular applications; these are all provided cheaply and efficiently online.

Some of the benefits of the Cloud are the following:

Decreased Costs: The Cloud eliminates the requirement for each user to buy stand-alone servers or

software that's capital intensive, but under-utilized usually. As technological innovations happen, these

resources become obsolete and must be replaced with the latest in order to ensure operational

efficiency - requiring more capital investment - as well as the cycle repeats. The Cloud eliminates the

need for such 'replacement' capital expenditure.

Many users share a Cloud ultimately causing distributed costs and economies of scale as resources

including property, bandwidth, and power, are centralized. The enterprise also saves on overheads such

as management costs, data storage costs, costs of software updates, and qc and is able to use Cloud

services at economical rates.

Scalability and Speed: Enterprises will no longer have to invest time in buying and setting up the

hardware, software along with other resources necessary for a fresh application. They can quickly scale

up or reduce their usage of services about the Cloud as per market demands, during hours of maximum

activity, while launching sales campaigns, etc. Cloud services are most usually reliable, since many

companies have data centers in multiple locations in order to keep the processing near users.

Innovation: Enterprises can focus on innovation, as they do not have to own or manage resources. Cloud

computing facilitates faster prototype development, testing and validation. Research and development

projects or activities where users need to collaborate for a task/project are specifically benefited.

Convenience: Sharing of infrastructure and charges ensures low overheads and immediate accessibility

to services. Payments are billed based on actual consumption only. Information on billing are made

available from the service provider also serves to test costs.

Other than an Internet-connected device, special equipment or specially-trained manpower isn't

needed. One-off tasks can be carried out on the Cloud. High-speed bandwidth ensures real-time

response from infrastructure located at different sites.

Location Independence: Providers can set up infrastructure in areas with lower expenses and pass on

the benefit. They can set up multiple redundant sites to facilitate business continuity and disaster

recovery. This helps the enterprise lower your expenses further.

Optimal Resource Utilization: Servers, storage and network resources are better utilized as the Cloud is

shared by multiple users, thus cutting down on waste at a global level. Cloud-computing is more

environment-friendly and energy efficient. Down-time is cut and optimization of resources across

enterprises on the Cloud is achieved.

Flexibility: Users can opt out anytime and thus gain a advanced level of operational flexibility. The

assistance are covered by service level agreements and also the service provider is required to pay a lack

of success if the quality agreed to is not provided.

Device Independence: Applications provided from the Cloud can be accessed from the device - some

type of computer, a smartphone, an iPad, etc. Any device which includes access to the Internet can

leverage the effectiveness of the Cloud.
