Wikipedia:
Cloud computing refers to the delivery of
computing and storage capacity as a service to a heterogeneous community of
end-recipients. The name comes
from the use of a cloud shaped symbol, as an abstraction for the complex
infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts services with a user’s data,
software and computation over a network.
It has considerable overlap with software as a service (SAAS). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing
Translated in English…
Cloud computing is the sharing and storage
of files, and the use of applications, over the Internet.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a small
or a large size business (or even an individual) we can all benefit from using
the cloud. In fact, we use
the cloud everyday when we use Google.
So, why can you benefit from using cloud
technology?
First of all you will save on costs. Finally, you can get rid of that old
clunky, power hungry server. Not
only will you reduce your electricity bills, you will reduce the amount of time
you call in your IT service providers to deal with your server issues.
As a business owner you would probably
prefer all your staff to run off the same operating system. Continually buying and upgrading
software for individual machines can become an expensive exercise. By running your computer system from
the cloud means you can run all your computers from one operating system. This not only reduces your cost in purchasing
software, but also man-hours for every time someone has to install new software
on all your machines.
Another great advantage of using the cloud
is you can access your files from any computer, anywhere in the world. There’s no excuse for incomplete work,
because a staff member forgot their laptop.
File sharing is easy when you operate from
the cloud. Emailing large data
files is no longer necessary. By
uploading your files to the cloud, you will reduce time spent on waiting for
documents to be delivered over the net, as well as always ensuring your staff
are working from the most up to date document. This also means you have protected your business from
risk.
Have you considered what
would happen if your servers were to catch fire or fail in the middle of a major project?
