Does cloud computing offers scalability?
Yes! Cloud computing by definition offers a flexibility and
scalability that bring the computing power of corporate giants to
you, a sole proprietor or a small/medium sized business. Cloud
computing is FlexibleOnce your business enters into the world of
cloud computing your employees gain great flexibility, in your
business location and elsewhere. Your staff has the ability to
access files by using home computers, laptops, tablets, and even
Smartphones. The hardware they have and can use is at no cost to
you. Also, the power to instantly share documents and collaborate
on files is superbly supported by cloud computing. A recent
workplace phenomena are BYOD or "Bring your own device" to work or
outside presentations. Cloud computing enables the use of mobile
technology, and smart SMBs are taking advantage of it. Cloud
Computing is ScalableScalability is one of the primary benefits of
cloud computing. Your business can quickly and without fuss upscale
or downscale your IT needs when required. Most providers of cloud
services let a client increase their existing resource usage as
needed. This allows you quickly respond to growth in your business
and continue to support your staff without making expensive
infrastructure or software changes. Give a new employee Internet
access and he or she is ready to work. Cloud Computing Scalability
Works Whether It Is Your System or Software as a ServiceMost cloud
computing solutions are public. Companies select the vendor(s) of
software solutions offered from the cloud and use their data
centers on a shared basis. They only pay for the computing they
need.
Sometimes, control of IT must remain internal. Here, private
cloud computing works to provide a business with a customized,
scalable, and secure cloud environment that allows many of the
scalability benefits of cloud computing to be realized. Benefits
include Internet access, lower hardware costs, less involvement of
IT personnel in user computer issues and more time to spend on
company the technology goals of the business.
No matter where the cloud is located, the forecast is for
sunnier skies for users.
