23 Oct What Are Cloud Computing Services?
Cloud computing services provide the capability of storing files and data in remote repositories over the Internet rather than at the company’s servers and hardware. Third-party providers offer these capabilities for a monthly fee, eliminating the need to buy and install hardware as well as manage infrastructure on-site.
SaaS is the most commonly used type of cloud computing that is used in businesses. SaaS applications provide high availability, are easy to access and use on any device running an internet browser. They are usually purchased by the seat or user basis, eliminating the need to buy and install a software package for each employee, and also provide the hardware to support it.
PaaS is a cloud computing platform which allows developers to develop and deploy applications. It lets developers create applications, test, deploy and manage complete applications in one place. Notable examples include Microsoft Azure, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and Google App Engine.
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is a different form of cloud computing that offers basic infrastructure for computers, such as servers, data storage, and hardware — all in the cloud. This lets companies host large platforms without investing in large physical infrastructures. IaaS providers include DigitalOcean and RackSpace.
Automated software updates: Cloud-based software updates automatically and update themselves, reducing the time required for IT departments to perform the manual system updates for all of their organizations. PCWorld states that this can save IT departments and budgets money by cutting out unnecessary IT cost for consulting. Cost uncertainty: Due to the pay-as-you-go subscription plan and the requirement to scale up resources to handle the fluctuating demand for workload it can be difficult for businesses predict the final cost of cloud services.
