Cloud computing is all the rage with both business persons and private individuals. Everything from business to videogames now uses some sort of cloud computing though not everybody, including those who utilize it, understands exactly what cloud computing is or how it works. In the simplest of terms, cloud computing is essentially off premise and on-demand computing all handled via the Internet. Cloud computing includes things like operating systems, mobile business technology, and even data storage and backup. Cloud computing exists today because years ago the tech industry and businesses needed software and computing services that could be managed internally but were also affordable and efficient.
Cloud computing generally operates within very large parameters and involves big numbers. Whereas businesses are concerned cloud computing is often a large-scale operation. When large corporations utilize cloud computing services there are often thousands of servers located in different parts of the world that can be accessed by millions of users at the same time. These users include IT administrators, employees utilizing applications or storing data, and cloud operators/providers. When compared to old-fashioned or more traditional computing, cloud computing operates on a vastly larger scale and reduces hassle and downtime dramatically.
As mentioned previously cloud computing is beneficial to a number of different types of people. Whereas businesses concerned, cloud computing offers business owners and managers an opportunity to increase revenue and productivity while at the same time help them keep IT costs much lower than those businesses who do not utilize cloud computing. Things like on-demand services allow business owners and managers to pay only for what they need rather than large licensing fees for features and applications that they may not use much or at all.
When it comes to cloud computing there isn't one single type but rather several different ones. In fact experts are predicting that within the next 5 to 10 years all cloud computing and services will fall under five different types and/or providers. The first being Google cloud, the second Microsoft, and a third being Amazon, Facebook, IBM, and even Apple. The fourth type of cloud service involves telcos Web hosters and SaaS players. The fifth type of cloud expected to be utilized in the coming years is that which is run by Fortune 1000 companies. These in-house cloud services will function just as all other cloud services do but be managed by privately hired individuals or firms. The first three types of clouds mentioned here are generally thought of as "platform clouding" while the final two fall under what industry experts call "services clouds".
The economics of today's computing are requiring businesses to transform themselves into one of the aforementioned types of clouds. While transitioning in the business world and tech industries isn't always smooth nor easy this transition is a necessary and inevitable one. Fortunately there are a large number of companies out there that can be hired to not only assist with these transformations but complete them for businesses of all sizes too. While large and midsize businesses will either transform into one of these types of clouds and will have plenty of guidance in doing so, small businesses are often intimidated by cloud computing though they needn't be. As these transformations take place and become more common small businesses that rely on the cloud will be gently guided in the right direction so they can not only utilize cloud services but utilize the ones that are right for them as well.
