Cloud Computing Demystified

Everyone is talking about “the cloud.” But what does it mean?

Business applications are moving to the cloud. It’s not just a fad—the shift from traditional software models to the Internet has steadily gained momentum over the last 10 years. Looking ahead, the next decade of cloud computing promises new ways to collaborate everywhere, through mobile devices.

Life before cloud computing

Traditional business servers & applications have typically required expensive and complicated networks/ infrastructure. The regular upgrades, maintenance and high probability of failure due to a hardware malfunction was challenging problem to tackle. The amount and variety of hardware and software required to run them were daunting, often requiring whole team of experts to install, configure, test, run, secure, and update them.

When you multiply this effort across dozens or hundreds of applications/ servers dispersed in various locations, it’s easy to see why the biggest companies with the best IT departments weren’t getting the support they needed. Small and mid-sized businesses weren’t able to easily gain access to the technology necessary to run their business effectively. This technology gap has been reduced dramatically.
