Cloud Computing
Cloud computing refers to the use and access of multiple server-based computational resources via a digital network (WAN, Internet connection using the World Wide Web, etc.). Cloud users may access the server resources using a computer, netbook, pad computer, smart phone, or other device. In cloud computing, applications are provided and managed by the cloud server and data is also stored remotely in the cloud configuration. Users do not download and install applications on their own device or computer; all processing and storage is maintained by the cloud server.
The economics of cloud computing lets innovative companies create products that either weren't possible before or are significantly less expensive than the competition. Businesses need ways to store, process and access information. That's where technology, in the way of servers, storage, software, systems and computers comes in. As more and more businesses consider moving away from the "let's own and manage IT all" to "let's share services and outsource" mindset, cloud technology is taking off.
What small businesses need to know about cloud computing: what it is, how it works and when to put your business in the clouds. Consumers upload, download and float images, documents, email and all kinds of content into clouds. Clouds host and drive business technology where information is stored away from company servers where people/users freely customize with clicks, and are not dependent on developer's code. Businesses who operate in the cloud save IT expenses, energy output, equipment acquisition costs and even reduce their carbon footprint.
Want to store your files in the cloud so they can be accessed anywhere, anytime? That's possible. Want your company email stored online (but keep your domain name) so you can access mail from anywhere, on your home PC, on your phone? No problem. Want to collaborate online with other staff on documents and projects, allowing you to work from home but still have a presence in the office? That can be arranged too.
