1. Cost Saving
Cloud users are able to increase or decrease their cloud services,
Servers and Virtual Machines according to demand and their
budgeted requirement to spend.
There is no need to pay for services you do not require.
2. Scalability
Businesses can sign up for the specific IT functions they require.
If needs change over time, they can simply pay more or less each
month for access to cloud services.
Simply : Pay as you Go and Pay as you Grow
3. Flexibility
The time taken to commission, implement and configure services is
generally measured in weeks, while a company could use its cloud
provider to get services up and running within a matter of hours.
4. Quick Deployment
Select Size Use it Pay for it
Cloud Service providers usually use latest processors, OEM
Memories, high performance servers, better storage drives like SSD
to provide better computing power.
Redundancy at all levels is main factor to ensure uptimes
5. High Speed Computing
In many cases, the physical security and data protection of a cloud
services provider is better than your own on-premises solution.
With a hosted cloud solution, you still decide who has control and
access, but you can spend less time managing and monitoring the
network. That gives you the freedom—and peace of mind—to focus
on your core business.
No matter what, good security begins with a deeper conversation
about your business needs with your provider.
6. Security
“Nearly 60% of enterprisesbelieve their cloud providers’security capabilities arebetter than their own.”
“2013 U.S. Cloud Security Survey”IDC
Today’s data requirement is much more as compare to 5 years or 10
years ago. Big Data is as much of a buzzword these days in cloud
computing.
Behind all Big Data projects it is a desire for business to be better
informed and for that information to be delivered at faster speeds.
Cloud provides facility to keep big data available for analysis and
decision making
7. Big Data
Cloud Servers and Virtual Data Centers are available from anywhere
24 x 7.
Monitoring, upgradation, patching, scaling, management is now more
easier then ever.
8. Availability
- Moving to cloud is now CFO’s choice, CIOs choice.
- Ultimately, we all have to move business to cloud, only need to decide it will be
Private, Public or Hybrid
- Legacy IT people are still reluctant and need some push from CIOs and CFOs to
move forward
- Moving to cloud would be status for IT heads: “I moved my services to cloud, did
you?”
