“Over past few years, cloud has become the new normal,” said the CTO. “The default environment to build apps on.”

Benefits of Cloud Services for Businesses

Cloud-Businesses- Services
Cloud Services have undoubtedly become one of the most valuable computing services available on the Internet these days. There is no denying the fact that the Cloud has changed the very essence of running applications on different platforms. In the past, people used to run applications or programs hard stored in their computers. However, with the advent of Cloud Computing, people can run these applications from anywhere on the Internet.

For this very reason, there have been a lot of benefits which have come to the fore, with respect to Cloud Computing. No matter if you own a small business or are the CEO of a conglomerate, chances are, your business can benefit immensely from the use of Cloud Computing.

Here are some benefits of cloud services for businesses:

Cost savings: Every business owner wants to save money. Cloud storage can go a long way when it comes to securing and providing affordable storage solutions to businesses through Cloud computing. This way, providers can effectively distribute the costs of their infrastructure and make it cost effective for businesses wanting to conduct their business through the use of Internet. At the same time, Cloud storage can help save costs related to hardware and maintenance, since these are all considered capital expenditures, which add to the overall cost of a business’s expense list.

Convenience: Convenience is yet another factor which helps keep the Cloud business going. Since everything moves to the Internet, there are no physical servers or hardware you need to maintain to keep everything running smoothly. Everything gets transferred to your Cloud provider, who will be incurring the cost of maintaining the Cloud storage systems for your business and keep the services running without interruptions.

Security: All the Cloud storage is housed in an exclusive data center; this way, since no hardware is stored within the office, it becomes easier to maintain security. As the security is enhanced, there is no single point of failure, making the concept of storage all the more exclusive and safe. In other words, in case even one server crashes, your data will always remain safe, making it a fool proof way to maintain and store data.

Mobility: One of the main reasons for employing Cloud Storage in a business world is the mobility it offers to the customers. All you need is an Internet connection to get going and you will be all set to work from anywhere. No matter if you are waiting at the airport or sitting at home or travelling to another country, if you have an Internet connection, you can always stay connected.

Scalability: What you use is what you pay for! This is how simple it is. You don’t need to worry about ending up with unused storage space at the end of the month. This is the flexibility you get with Cloud storage. Modify your needs as your usage increases or decreases, so that you can adjust your usage with convenience.

Automatic software updates: Since the servers are not on the same premises as your business, you don’t have to worry about anything at all. The service providers roll out different updates for you periodically, thereby allowing you to stay abreast of all the latest services being provided by the Cloud storage providers.

Increased team collaborations: Since a lot of teams can be brought onboard to manage the data, there is always someone available to streamline and perform data monitoring. Gone are the days when each team member had to wait to access data from the server. With the Cloud services in place, everyone can access data at the same time, thereby making team collaboration more effective and well coordinated.

Environment friendly usage policies: As you increase/decrease your usage, the carbon footprint also fluctuates. This way, the environment also gets the love it deserves as your company does its bit in making the environment healthier and better.

Licenses: Pre-procured licenses can go a long way in the Cloud industry. However, procuring licenses from Cloud providers again and again can often prove to be a costly affair in the long run. This way, it’s always beneficial to have a set of licenses which can be used again and again.

Considering the points above, there are endless benefits a business can avail by making use of the Cloud service. The sooner you move to the Cloud, the faster and more effective the results you can garner in the short run and the long run alike.
