Cloud Computing is the most actual trend in the field of information technology.
Cloud Computing is one of the most attractive technologies of the time. It is based on the Internet through which information is stored in virtual servers and provided as a service to customers upon request. This technology has reached its peak due to the continuously increasing development of virtual platforms; a development which has offered advantages such as optimization, flexibility, and reliability; advantages which have shown the superiority of these platforms as opposed to physical ones. It is very important to highlight the fact that the foundation of cloud computing is virtualization.
Until now there are different types of services provided by cloud computing where the most important are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS ) – renting computing resources, storage and energy, Software as a Service (SaaS) which means renting services such as e.g. email, finance applications, and other programs, Platform as a Service (PaaS) – renting platforms that can be used for developing and hosting, including here operating systems, dB and other necessary tools etc.
Does cloud computing save money for every business?
– Fast updates and easy modification of applications.
– Sharing costs between customers.
– Calculation of variable capacity and increase of effectiveness.
– Low costs for companies that are new in the market. This benefit will always bring a growing number of new companies in the market.
– Cheaper prices for consumers. Increasing competition between companies will bring reductions of prices, resulting in cheaper services for consumers, whose considerable percentage of which is more significant for the country’s economy.
Does running on cloud mean 100% uptime?
Cloud providers typically can’t deliver guaranteed uptime. They may get close – some promise 99.99% – but it’s rare to find an offer of 100%. What’s important to remember here though is that while experiencing downtime is very rare, you should simply have a plan for how to handle the situation if it ever does occur.
