2. Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing Business solutions represent a new model for the use of hardware
and software within a company. In this new formula, all servers, networks, applications
and other elements related to data centers are made available to the IT department
and end users through the Internet, in a way that enables them to acquire precisely
the type and amount of computing services they need.
Cloud computing differs radically from traditional outsourcing networks in which
customers may not provide accurate management of their IT resources. In this system,
customers are connected to 'cloud' services (e.g.: hardware maintenance) and
business solutions (e.g.: domain-specific applications); the management is performed
according to the volume of contracted services so that users don’t actually perceive
any difference between this regime and the traditional one (where business solutions
are installed locally).
Cloud Computing benefits
Unlike traditional applications that are installed on computers and servers in the
customer’s location, the cloud computing provider owns the software and runs it in its
data center while the client hires the solution on a monthly fee. Compared to a
classical solution installed on the customer’s site, cloud IT solutions provide the
following advantages:
