With the right implementation cloud can enable both business and technology to bring in a positive change. With the buzz around cloud, the limitations of traditional IT Infrastructure are becoming more apparent. Cloud computing works on a similar principle as email, google drive which allows users to access information from anywhere. There are 3 types of cloud computing namely: Private Cloud: The private cloud is a type of cloud computing designed for a specific client and operated solely by them. It comprises of a software-defined datacentre architecture that combines essential hardware and other computing resources into a unified virtualized unit. Public Cloud: A public cloud is a form of cloud computing built on a multi- tenant environment, relying on a third-party cloud service provider for services such as applications, also known as Software as a Service (SaaS), and storage Hybrid Cloud: A hybrid cloud is an integrated cloud service solution, involving both private and public cloud platforms, to perform distinct functions within the same organization. Cloud computing can benefits companies in many ways, depending upon their size, scale, sector and strategic goals. Check out this infographic to know the top 5 benefits of cloud computing adoption.

1. WHAT IS CLOUD?
BENEFITS
OF CLOUD5
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of
configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
(Definition by National Institute of Standards and Technology)
Private cloud is a cloud infrastructure that is
used by a single organization or individual.
The infrastructure is provisioned on the
organization premise but may be hosted in
a third-party data center.
Levels of security and control are high when
using a private cloud
Best of both the worlds, the Hybrid cloud is
a mix of both public and private cloud, as
per the requirements of the organization.
The hybrid cloud offers advantages such as
greater control, flexibility, cost-effectiveness,
and ease of use.
In Public cloud, the infrastructure is owned
and managed by the cloud service provider.
The Public Cloud offers advantages such as
low cost of ownership, automated
deployments, scalability, and reliability.
This is building block for cloud computing
IaaS is a virtual platform on which required
operating environment and applications
are deployed
PaaS provides a platform for software or
business applications to be developed and
deployed on.
PaaS is ideal for developers and it speeds up
the development and deployment process
of applications.
SaaS is completed software offering
managed and run on the cloud by a service
provider.
Some examples of SaaS are web-based
email, CRM and ERP
The main benefit of cloud computing is significant reduction in cost. With very less to invest in IT Infrastructure, utilities and facilities, the organization
can move from CAPEX to OPEX model.
20 percent of organizations are concerned about the initial cost of implementing a cloud-based server

environment.
Cloud computing offers better security than the traditional IT Infrastructure. Cloud service providers are required to follow stringent security
regulations to protect client’s data. With cloud hosting businesses are protected against hacking, infection and internal data theft.
RapidScale claims that 94 percent of businesses saw an improvement in security after switching to the cloud.
