WHY CLOUD?

Why Cloud Computing is Simply Better

Why Cloud?

Cloud computing has many benefits over traditional on-premise computing. The most obvious one is that it doesn't require you to purchase hardware and keep it both secure and up-to-date. But the benefits go beyond simply cost. Cloud applications are available for use from wherever there is an Internet connection, and can be used on PCs, Macs, Tablets and Smart Phones. They facilitate shared use, allowing people to easily collaborate using shared data. And the environments are typically built to a higher standard, with better availability, reliability and security.

CLOUD BENEFITS

No Capital Investment

There is no need to purchase on-premise equipment. Cloud applications are usually paid for on a subscription basis.

Reduced Maintenance

Users do not need to repair or replace hardware, keep the operating system and applications up to date, or worry about the security.

Available Everywhere

Users can access the software from anywhere where there is an Internet connection, and on any device that supports the major browsers.

Designed for Collaboration

Cloud software can be used by multiple people at the same time, without them having to be in the same physical location.

Always On

Cloud applications are hosted in some of the world's best data centres, and (apart from maintenance windows) are designed to run 24 x 7.

Always Up-to-Date

There is never a need to update PCs and servers, with everyone using the same version of the application and data - wherever they are.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

There was a time when every household, town, farm or village had its own water well. Today, shared public utilities give us access to clean water by simply turning on the tap; cloud computing works in a similar fashion. Just like water from the tap in your kitchen, cloud computing services can be turned on or off quickly as needed. Like at the water company, there is a team of dedicated professionals making sure the service provided is safe, secure and available on a 24/7 basis. When the tap isn’t on, not only are you saving water, but you aren’t paying for resources you don’t currently need.

If someone asks me what cloud computing is, I try not to get bogged down with definitions. I tell them that, simply put, cloud computing is a better way to run your business.

Mark Benioff
CEO, Salesforce.com

Cloud computing is really a no-brainer for any start-up because it allows you to test your business plan very quickly for little money. Every start-up, or even a division within a company that has an idea for something new, should be figuring out how to use cloud computing in its plan.
