Cloud Computing: An Overview

Gone are the days when IT companies spent huge capital on IT infrastructure. Cloud computing proves to be a great boon to companies having limited IT infrastructure.

Cloud computing is a computing environment where application software services and computing needs are outsourced by business owners to a third party, and when they or their employees want to use the computing power or application resources, like databases, emails, etc., they access them via Internet.  

 

Why cloud computing?

 

Suppose you are a senior executive in a corporation; one of your responsibilities will be to ensure your employees have the correct software and hardware to do their daily work. A onetime investment of buying computer machines is not enough; you will also have to purchase software and their licenses. Now if you have a new hire in your team, then you will have to buy new software and licenses for the new team member or make sure current license allows another user. It will become very costly to purchase new software over and over again, often times in a very short time window.
