Now let's meet development, testing, staging, production and fail-over environments and when an issue arises, good luck you call technical support and they don't even know so they would blame someone else and when new versions come out you would upgrade to that but that might bring the whole system down…
Now this is just for one app, so imagine when you multiply these headaches across dozens or hundreds of apps you can pretty easily get the idea that, why the big companies with their best IT departments aren't getting the apps which they require…
Small businesses here don't even have a chance…
Cloud computing is a far better way to run your business because instead of running your apps yourself, they run on a shared data center so you would just plug in like a utility…
This really makes it fast to get started and it cost less…
It's somewhat like Gmail compared to Microsoft Exchange & we would be explaining why we are saying so…
Do you need any technical team to keep it up and running ? No…
Do you need to do upgrades ? No..
When you decide to use any app that runs in the cloud, you would just log in, customize it, and start using it ; that's the power of cloud computing services..
This cloud computing model is so much better that, it's changing the way we think about software, not just for consumer apps but it's also being used for business apps which we call an Enterprise Cloud Computing…
Today businesses are running all kinds of apps in the cloud, including several custom-built apps..Why ? Because you can up and running in just a few days which is unheard of with traditional business software..
Cloud computing services also cost less because you don't need to pay for all the people, products and facilities to run them and it always turns out that they're much more scalable, more secure and they're also way more reliable than the vast majority of apps out there..
Here's why..Cloud computing is based on an architecture which is called multi-tenancy…With a multi-tenant app, there is no need for a copy of the app for each business that's using it..It's just one app that everyone would share but it's also flexible enough for everyone to customize for their specific needs..
It's kind of like a giant office building where everyone shares the same infrastructure and services like security…And if each business can customize their own office bits, this means apps are elastic and they can scale up to tens of thousands of users or down
only with a few…
Advantages of cloud computing services are that, here upgrades are also taken care of for you, so your apps will continue getting security and performance enhancements and new features automatically..
Finally cloud apps won't eat up your valuable IT resources so your CFO/CTO will love it and you can focus more on projects that really impact your business like deploying more apps…
Cloud computing is a very simple idea but it can still have a huge impact on your business…
