What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing, in essence, entails the provision of computing services over the Internet, commonly referred to as ‘the cloud.’ These services encompass servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence. The overarching aim is to facilitate faster innovation, provide flexible resources, and benefit from economies of scale.

In this model, you typically pay solely for the cloud services utilised, leading to reduced operating costs, enhanced infrastructure efficiency, and the ability to scale seamlessly in response to evolving business demands.

Cloud computing is not one-size-fits-all, and choosing the right solution depends on various factors. Logical Micro can help you through the cloud maze, speak to our Team.

Cost

Moving or transitioning to the cloud enables companies to significantly streamline their IT costs. By leveraging cloud computing, businesses eliminate the upfront capital expenditure associated with purchasing hardware and software, as well as the ongoing expenses of maintaining onsite data centers—such as Servers and associated equipment as well as Power for equipment and cooling, and the need for dedicated IT personnel to manage infrastructure. These savings accumulate rapidly and contribute to overall cost optimisation

Agility

The majority of cloud computing services offer self-service functionality and on-demand provisioning, allowing businesses to access extensive computing resources within minutes. Typically, this can be achieved with just a few simple clicks, providing organisations with remarkable flexibility and alleviating the need for meticulous capacity planning.

Productivity

Traditional onsite datacenters often demand extensive hardware setup, software patching, and other labor-intensive IT management tasks. Cloud computing alleviates the necessity for many of these responsibilities, enabling IT teams to redirect their focus towards accomplishing more critical business objectives.

Performance

Leading cloud computing services operate on a global network of secure data centers, continually updated with the latest advancements in fast and efficient computing hardware. This setup provides numerous advantages compared to relying solely on a single corporate data center. These benefits include decreased network latency for applications and the ability to leverage economies of scale.

Reliability

Cloud computing simplifies and reduces the cost of data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity efforts by allowing data to be replicated across multiple redundant sites within the cloud provider’s network.

Security

Most cloud providers furnish a comprehensive array of policies, technologies, and controls designed to bolster your overall security posture. These measures serve to safeguard your data, applications, and infrastructure against potential threats.

Global Scale

Cloud computing services offer the advantage of elastic scalability. In practical terms, this means delivering precisely the required amount of IT resources—whether it’s increased or decreased computing power, storage capacity, or bandwidth—exactly when they’re needed, and from the optimal geographic location.
