Cloud computing is a rapidly growing phenomenon and its benefits are being capitalised by more and more businesses each day. Take a look at some of these benefits below:

Cost – Cloud computing eliminates the upfront capital expense of buying and setting up hardware/software as well as the cost of running on-site data centres. Cloud solutions are usually charged on a monthly or annual subscription basis whereas on-premise solutions are generally priced under a one-time fee. This enables businesses to spread the cost over a longer period of time leaving them with a better cash flow. Significant costs are also:

Disaster resistance – Having data stored in the cloud means that if a disaster such as a fire in the office occurred data would not be lost. The cloud can act as a form of backup that isn’t prone to physical disasters. Many businesses use the cloud as a form of backup for data for this very reason and there are many solutions available. 

Scalability – The benefits of cloud computing services include the ability to scale elastically. IT resources can be added or removed far more easily with the cloud than on-premise solutions meaning that businesses have more flexibility. This allows them to adapt capacity in sync with the speed of growth resulting in greater efficiency and cost savings. 

Productivity – Cloud computing allows for easy collaboration between employees. Workers can access data from wherever they are: prospects headquarters, commuting, or at home. Furthermore, with set up and maintenance of hardware and software outsourced, it means IT workers have more time to work on more productive tasks. Performance – The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure data centres, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. Additionally, the more up-to-date it is the greater the security. On-premise solutions are only as recent as you make them and this obviously comes at a cost.
