Cloud Computing - Is It Right For Your Business?
The term cloud computing has been bandied around for a number of years but unless your server needs were very high you simply would not have begun to look at scaling up your server resources.
More and more businesses however are relying increasingly heavily on web based applications both for client contact and transactions, the downside however is that the infrastructure becomes more hungry, and costs scale up dramatically using traditional expansion methods, and quite often there is then a compromise between functionality and client satisfaction.
Cloud computing gives businesses a entirely more cost effective solution to satisfy both the companies internal server needs and the external ebb and flow of customer based web traffic, which often will have peaks and troughs that can be costly both in monetary terms and lost revenue due to user dissatisfaction.
Cloud computing is also very useful in the CAD industry too. If you look at a typical architectural practice for example they will have good workstations and cad computers for the design phase but often when they need to render a digital image or video presentation and the computing requirements for this are immense and can take weeks to produce the end results.
Some cloud computing systems will allow short term rental of resource so you could in this scenario use cloud computing to render a scene or movie in double quick time.
For an easy explanation of cloud computing have a look at the video which gets the concept across in nice easy to understand language.
