What is cloud computing?
The cloud refers to a network of powerful computers that are connected together and store and manage data and applications over the internet. Instead of keeping data and software on a single physical server or computer, the cloud allows you to access and use them from anywhere with an internet connection. The cloud doesn’t have a specific physical location like a building. It is made up of data centres spread across various regions worldwide.
How would this benefit my business?
Cloud services offer several advantages over traditional systems. Firstly, scalability — you can easily increase or decrease the resources (like storage or computing power) you need, based on your business’s changing needs. It’s also cost effective, in that you only pay for what you use, which can be more cost-efficient than maintaining, managing and powering traditional physical devices. Cloud services offer the ability to access data and applications from anywhere with an internet connection; with reliability being a massive win as cloud services often have redundant systems, reducing the risk of downtime or data loss.
