So we’ve seen the hype, but what are they really talking about? In simple terms….what is the Cloud…..and what are the benefits to businesses?The key characteristics of Cloud Computing - it is based on a virtualized infrastructure, is designed to be highly scalable and is provisioned as a service. More specifically:-Most clouds are underpinned by “utility billing”…or pay as you go. Think of your electric bill at home where you pay for only what you use. Same with the Cloud.Generally speaking, Cloud resources are unlimited. Great when you are not sure how much compute power or storage you’ll need for a certain workload. It’s good to know its there if you need it!Another key attribute of the cloud is that you can rapidly scale it up or down….depending on your needs. Again paying for only what you need.Most cloud infrastructure is quick and easy to provision and set up to be easy to self-administerSupporting the “self service” nature of the Cloud, there tends to be a lot of automation to make this easy for the userBenefits to the business – what does this mean to the business that implement the Cloud as part of a comprehensive IT strategy Increased agility, lower cost and better use of resources
