Software as a Service (SaaS)
In the cloud computing, programs and applications are on the servers connected to the Internet, outside the user’s computer. This allows users to not to buy any software for their computers because it is loaded online via the internet browser.
Now instead of having to pay more than $150 for the cheapest version of Office ™ can freely access the online version of the applications.
Reduced Software Maintenance
By reducing the amount of software installed on users’ computers, the maintenance required is also reduced.
Nowadays almost all programs have automatic mechanisms that seek their updates which fix bugs, close security flaws, or even add new features.
In a cloud, updated software is not required because nothing is installed on the user’s computer.
Increased Reliability
The reliability of the cloud is proven to be mounted high performance infrastructure designed to have redundancy. If a user or a company wanted to have this level of reliability required to implement systems for high performance servers (hundreds of servers to meet demand), install backup systems for those servers, controlled environment rooms, electric power systems test failures, not to mention the capacity of communications connections necessary for the flow of information.
We can also see more everyday. If a user, for example, had the unfortunate lost or theft of laptop, the information would be lost with it. An information tag is mounted on systems that ensure a high percentage of effectiveness.
Increased Scalability
You’re running out of hard drive space? Might need to add another hard drive, or buy an external one. In a cloud, space is not a problem. Providers of cloud computing services make the storage capacity available like never seen before.
The same applies to the demand on the servers for applications. A company would have to buy more servers and increase their connections, in a cloud you do not worry about it.
Cost Reduction
Costs are reduced in many ways.
You save the license to use office software. Start making accounts: $ 150 for the cheapest version of Microsoft Office ™ for every computer.
No need to buy more equipment. Instead, the team you have now would work much better in fewer resources that are required to operate the software in the cloud.
Want more? Well, another tangible savings you might have is to save in lower maintenance to existing equipment.
And yet I have not mentioned that your staff can work from anywhere (even in motion), stay connected all the time; you can reduce the need to send emails, and much more!
Environmentally friendly
A cloud computer is friendly to the environment in more ways than you can imagine. Now you can reduce computer waste generated in your company because you don’t need to make changes to your computer over time. The fact that you’re current PC run better and without as much pressure that will reduce the heat they generate and the electricity they consume. Data centers which host most of the applications and services meet very strict requirements for environmental care. It is another way to part in caring for the environment.
It is a trend in the actual computation
Laptops, Netbooks, Smartphones, Wireless connections are a fundamental part of the team. Now the team is intended to be so strong and efficient, i.e. do a lot with little.
Can you imagine a computer without internet?
I think no.
And the same computer with internet but “attached” to a desk?
The computing power no longer depends on what you have in your hands, but that power is shipped from the servers on which the cloud is mounted.
Portability and Accessibility
The computation tag allows you to move in many ways. Not only that you move your computer to yourself, but also may use of your computer at home and don’t take it to the office to continue the work with the team. And if then you have to go to a meeting, you might not have to carry your laptop but enough to carry your blackberry or your iphone, smartphone or whatever you like.
Companies have understood the need to provide their employees with tools for the journey, not the desktop.
Software version
You do not have to worry about “what version you have installed. Changes and updates are done without even noticing it which includes the files and information that you generate is accessible and virtually available for universal use. And that in turn is linked to the savings in the purchase of software and its updates.
Universality
At home you have Mac ™ and PC in the office?
In the office you use PC and use an iPhone ™? Do other members of your team use Blackberry ™?
None of that limits the use of the cloud! The information generated is shared in the tag computation which is accessible with any platform and everywhere.
The Cloud Computing is the new way in which Internet is being used as a productive tool. Internet is not just for fun, it is also minimizing the impact on environment. You gain the flexibility to access and use information. Everyone has the ability to use the tag regardless of whether they have Mac ™, PC, Blackberry ™, iPhone ™, whatever. No more worry about the version of the program.
What’s more, the interface used is something that practically everyone is now comfortable with.
