WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING  

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources through the internet with pay-to-use charges.

Instead of buying and maintaining computer products and services, you can pay to use a cloud computing service. It saves you the time, effort, and cost of doing it all by yourself!

 

The Three Major Cloud Service Models

Cloud computing services can be broken down into three models that stack on top of one another:

  1. Software as a Service (SaaS)

  2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

  3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

 

But Why Choose The Cloud?

Why would you not want to have your own computers, servers, staffers, and offices to run a company? Cloud computing allows you to accomplish a lot more with a lot less!

 

1. It's on-demand, like Netflix!

Cloud services are on-demand, which means you can access the service anywhere and anytime. It isn't limited by space or size.

2. It's cheaper

You don't need to purchase computers, rent office space or hire staff. Various models of cloud services offer one or all of those options. This could mean huge savings as you only pay for what you want.

3. It's flexible

Since you only pay for what you want and what you want is accessible anywhere, you can increase or decrease the scope of your projects or the intensity of your work as needed.
