Cloud Computing 

Instead of owning and maintaining physical hardware or software, companies can access resources such as storage, processing power, and applications through remote servers hosted by cloud service providers.

​

Cloud computing provides automatic software updates and various benefits to your business including: 
 

  • Business continuity to support disaster recovery, loss prevention, and quality control

  • Robust data security, providing reliable backup, safeguarding data to support your IT security procedures

  • Greater flexibility and accessibility, with increased storage, processing, and mobility capabilities

  • Real-time access to shared documents

  • Enhanced collaboration and productivity, providing streamlined workflows, centralised communications channels, and collaborative working spaces for teams across different locations and sites

  • Scalability to allow your organisation to adjust your IT resources on demand

  • Cost savings without the investment in physical hardware​

Our range of cloud computing services supports organisations of all sizes.

 

​Here are some key points about cloud computing:

  1. On-Demand Access: Cloud services are available on-demand, allowing users to scale up or down as needed. This flexibility is beneficial for businesses with varying workloads

  2. Service Models: 

  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Provides virtualised computing resources (such as virtual machines, storage, and networking) over the internet. Users can manage and control these resources

  • Platform as a Service (PaaS): Offers a platform for developing, deploying, and managing applications without worrying about infrastructure details. Developers can focus on coding

  • Software as a Service (SaaS): Delivers software applications over the internet. Users access these applications through a web browser without needing to install or maintain them locally

3.    Deployment Models:

  • Public Cloud: Services are provided by third-party vendors and accessible to the general public

  • Private Cloud: Resources are dedicated to a single organisation and hosted either on-premises or by a third-party provider. Offers more control and security

  • Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private cloud environments, allowing data and applications to move seamlessly between them

4.    Benefits:

  • Cost-Efficiency: Pay only for what you use, avoiding upfront capital expenses

  • Scalability: Easily scale resources up or down based on demand

  • Flexibility: Access services from anywhere with an internet connection

  • Reliability: Cloud providers offer high availability and redundancy

5.    Challenges:

  • Security: Data protection and privacy are critical concerns

  • Vendor Lock-In: Migrating between cloud providers can be complex

  • Downtime: Reliability depends on the provider’s infrastructure
