Peep in the world of Cloud Computing

My idea of cloud computing was always that it would be beneficial, but that it would actually save so much time was unthinkable.
In these times of increased workload and costs of production and the explosion of data, companies need a database that they can draw resources from, while reducing costs at the same time. Cloud computing has filled this need and has helped the business to act quickly. Not only reducing the amount of time it takes to complete a task by about 90%, but it also reduces the costs borne by the company drastically.

Previously, companies required bandwidth, servers, offices, developers, testers of various programs and other resources that costs a great sum. With cloud computing, all that these companies need is a computer that is connected to a cloud (a term for the Internet)! Open source software set the trend and what we have now is this huge cloud that hosts resources as programs, software, licenses, storage, servers, Web services, infrastructure (to run programs) and a variety tools in an accessible form.
All one need do is log in, search for the service in accordance with the need of the hour, adapt the service / program or ask for help, and start using it. The applications are not just based on IT anymore. You can find services related to HR, accounting and other such services, in addition to customized services. Large companies like Amazon.com and IBM offer storage space on demand. Purpose-built applications can be up and running in 2 days thanks to the development and testing done by millions of users. Services can be measured and selected. Cloud computing is a platform used by some common trading companies to interact with each other.

Perhaps the most comforting features of cloud computing is that it allows the company to pay for what it uses and nothing more, reducing the investment in hardware, software or services, making it similar to other utilities such as electricity. Users can have as little or as much of a service at a given time for as little or as long as they want. Companies also have the opportunity to subscribe to the cloud, or some vendors in a monthly basis and can stop whenever they want. It also offers complete restoration, share models, supports different languages and is easy to use. Also, users have several advantages such as security, new features and performance.

Cloud computing is a revolutionary change that is transforming the face of the business. Not only does it offer the true value to the costs that are pleasing, but it also allows management to focus on areas that may lead to more innovations. Cloud computing breaks the monotony of a rigid infrastructure by taking advantage of options that are flexible, economically viable and cut corners without cutting the bottom line of organizations.
