Cloud Computing On Demand
Cloud computing is one of the bigger phenomenon's in the I.T. world and if you don’t understand what the words imply then let the team at Modena360 break it down for you. To put it simply, cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing systems, which include:
● Servers
● Storage
● Databases
● Networking
● Software
● Analytics
● Intelligence
All of these services are provided over the internet (aka the cloud) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. In terms of payment, you only pay for the cloud services that you use, which allows you to not only lower your operating costs but it assists in your infrastructure being run more efficiently and scales to your business's changing needs.
So you’ve got the overall summary of cloud computing as a service but what about the benefits? Let us give you the run-down.
Cost, Speed, Productivity and Performance
Cloud computing removes the usual expenses of buying hardware and software as well as the setting up and running of data centres. The overall costs of these assets add up fast and cloud computing is a much cheaper alternative as all of these services are carried off-site.
The vast majority of cloud computing services tend to be provided self-service and on-demand, so there is a significant amount of resources that are provisioned in less than a few minutes, which allows businesses to be more flexible and takes the day-to-day pressures off capacity planning.
Data centres that are located on-site require a lot of “racking and stacking” as well as hardware and software patching and time-consuming IT management tasks. Cloud computing removes the need for a lot of these tasks, which eventually gives IT teams more time to spend on meeting business KPIs.
The biggest services run on a worldwide network of secure data centres, which are upgraded and monitored regularly to ensure that the hardware is as fast and efficient as possible. This service provides multiple benefits over a single corporate data centre, which includes less network latency for applications as well as greater economies of scale.
There are also different types of cloud computing and Modena360 are experts at providing each solution, let us explain each type in the best way possible.
Public Cloud
This service is owned and operated by third-party providers and delivers resources over the internet. All of the hardware, software and other infrastructure is owned and managed by the provider.
Private Cloud
This service refers to cloud computing resources that are used solely by a single company. It can be located physically on-site in the data centre. Some of these companies will pay third-party services as well to host their private cloud. The service and infrastructure are held on a private network too.
Hybrid Cloud
This service combines public and private clouds, which are bound together by the technology that gives data and applications to be shared between them. By allowing these two assets to move between private and public clouds, a hybrid gives you and your company more flexibility and it helps optimise the existing framework.
The team at Modena360 work closely with you to ensure that your business can make the most of innovative private cloud, hybrid cloud and public cloud technologies. Contact us today to begin your journey with us.
