Why small Businesses Need Cloud Computing

1
Introduction

• Cloud computing has become the norm with most
  businesses these days. Cloud computing is a type
  computing that is furthered by the internet, and
  provides shared computer processing resources and
  data, to devices, on demand. Cloud computing
  infrastructure refers to the hardware and
  software components (servers, storage,
  networking, and software) that support the
  computing requirements of a cloud computing
  model.
• To harness complete benefits of cloud computing,
  companies are implementing cloud computing
  infrastructure, which forms a part of their data
  center.

What are the benefits of Cloud Computing
Infrastructure

• There are numerous benefits of implementing the
  cloud-based infrastructure-
• Effective utilization of infrastructure
  investments
• Higher levels of application services
• Better security
• Less administrative expense
• Lower expenses under infrastructure, energy, and
  facility
• Faster deployment of physical and virtual
  resources

What are the benefits of Cloud Computing
Infrastructure

• When the concept of cloud computing was first
  introduced, only the big companies were the ones
  to use it. This led to the belief that cloud
  computing is only applicable to mid-size and
  large businesses, and small businesses could not
  benefit from it. This is however not true, small
  businesses equally benefit from cloud computing.

• Lower Cost and more Savings One of the most
  apparent benefits, of moving to the cloud, is
  that it allows small businesses to save more.
  There is less capital expenditure on hardware and
  software, less usage of physical floor area and
  rack space, and less power consumption.
• Increased Flexibility Another obvious benefit of
  cloud computing is the ability to access
  professional files and information from any
  device, at any time, and from any place.
• Better Data Security There are security
  certificates and encryption processes to make
  data secure, thus keeping vital and confidential
  information safe.
• Better Collaborations Cloud computing helps
  build better collaborations as file sharing is
  enabled and everyone can collaborate with ease.

Conclusion

• Like medium and large businesses, even small
  businesses can take advantage of cloud computing
  infrastructure. But, before cloud integration, a
  small business must understand its needs in order
  to build a successful cloud platform.
