Cloud Computing refers to applications, services or resources made available to users on demand via the Internet. Cloud computing is the natural evolution of network-based IT services, offering IP-based access to servers, data storage, networks and application resources.
Most companies typically utilize cloud-based computing as a way to increase capacity, enhance functionality or add additional services on demand without having to commit to potentially expensive infrastructure costs or increase / train existing in-house support staff.
It is a dynamic solution that can offer businesses the technology support it needs to expand and succeed with:
- Faster time to market—the time and money saved on technology build-out can be reinvested in core company offerings.
- An on-demand model based on expense not capital, so paying only for what is used.
- Increased flexibility and ability to scale so you can add or eliminate capacity as needed.
- On-demand business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR)
