Cloud computing allows users to access software, applications, and data storage over the internet instead of installing and maintaining the applications locally on each user's computer. The applications run and data is stored on remote servers owned by cloud computing providers. Users pay only for the resources they use, avoiding upfront costs of purchasing servers and software licenses. Some key benefits of cloud computing include flexibility to scale resources up or down as needed, automatic software updates, access to data and applications from anywhere, increased storage capacity, and reduced IT costs and responsibilities.

2. How it Works?

3. Benefits of Cloud Computing?

5. Six Benefits of Cloud Computing 1. Pay what use use Cloud Computing reduces your Hardware, Network Management and Software expenses. In Addition in cloud computing, you pay for what you use. No need for IT to worry to pay for future software updates. 2. Flexibility Depending on the demand, you can increase how much of the cloud resources you use without the need for assigning specific hardware for the job, or just reduce the amount of resources assigned to you when they are not necessary. 3. Automatic Updates No longer IT personnel need to worry about keeping Software up to date. 4. Access from Anywhere Access your data from anywhere. Employees need not be in office to access their data, data is always available instantly, wherever they are. 5. More Storage Space SMBs can get more storage space for less cost. Instead of building large data centers and maintaining them you can rent space, with enterprise class infrastructure. No Physical space occupied in your premises. 6. Better Support from IT No longer having to worry about constant server updates and other computing issues. Freedom from routine tasks like software patches, system maintenance allows redirection of staff time to value-driven projects with greater impact on productivity and profitability.

6. What do you pay for? You pay by the resources used which is called "Utility Computing". Resources can be, but not limited to: 1. Servers 2. Operating Systems 3. Applications 4. Software's 5. Some Cloud Providers also have their Unit of Measure setup which includes charges for space, hydro, equipment usage, Operating System Usage, etc.... They may have fixed charges For example, 1 Unit of Measure= 0.05 cents Cloud Computing is a service that is based on "pay as you go" else other words pay for what you use resources. Imagine, you do not spend any amount of money on Server or Software purchase or platforms. You just have to subscribe any of the cloud service providers like Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc...
