What Does Cloud Computing Mean and How can it help you?
The word “Cloud” is a metaphor for the Internet. The phrase “cloud computing” is used to describe a variety of situations where your business’ data and programs are stored and accessed over the Internet, rather than being stored and managed in-your office on a computer or server’s hard-drive.
There are three basic types of Cloud computing: public, private and hybrid. Using the public Cloud, businesses get their own Cloud within an infrastructure they share with other businesses. This is an affordable, off-site service where the Cloud service provider is responsible for the security and maintenance of your system. The private Cloud is managed by your in-house IT team. It’s a good solution for businesses that want exclusive access and control over their data, but it almost always costs more than the public Cloud. As the name implies, a hybrid Cloud service offers aspects of both private and public Clouds. Some of the Cloud is managed by your business’ IT professionals, and the rest is off-site.
