WHY UTILIZE THE CLOUD?

Cloud environments have multiple benefits for businesses across all industries. One of the most significant benefits of this technology is that it gives employees mobility, allowing them to access data from any approved device. Employees in today’s business environment desire this type of access so that they can work securely from multiple locations. Additionally, cloud networks provide a dependable backup. It is essential to have a copy of your data so that if your environment is compromised, you will still be able to access your data.

TYPES OF CLOUD SOLUTIONS

Private Cloud
A private cloud is hosted on a server that your business controls. Servers must be regularly maintained to maintain their security and kept in an environment with a specific temperature and power source to perform to their full potential. This solution is perfect for large businesses who want to maintain total control of their infrastructure and have the funding and IT staff to support it.

Public Cloud
A public cloud is hosted by a large company who operates a data center, which is a protected environment with multiple servers. This solution is best for businesses who want to utilize the cloud without having to manage its maintenance because the provider handles all security updates. Using a top-tier provider will typically ensure a team is working 24/7 to defend its network.

Hybrid Cloud
When you utilize a hybrid cloud, your business will get the best of both worlds. Your business will be able to customize a program utilizing public and private clouds. Hybrid clouds are beneficial for companies who have a small internal team that can manage maintenance but can take advantage of hosted cloud solutions.

APPLICATIONS OF CLOUD COMPUTING

Platform as a Service (PaaS)
PaaS is beneficial for companies who want to develop, launch, and maintain business applications. A SaaS environment is beneficial for software developers and technology providers.

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)

IaaS is an environment where a business’ software and storage is hosted on one cloud.

This is the most encompassing cloud application, and users can customize their environment to fit their unique needs.

Software as a service (SaaS)

In SaaS environments, cloud-hosted software is accessed through internet browsers. Companies can choose the number of licenses they want and trust the provider to manage all security updates.
