A Simple Definition
Contrary to how it might sound, cloud computing has nothing to do with being able to use your laptop on an airliner. Cloud computing uses internet servers to provide your computing needs. You no longer need to own the software and hardware.
Why You Need The Cloud
If you're wondering why you'll need to move to a cloud service, it's because we consumers no longer just use our PCs to store and access our content. We now use multiple devices - PCs, laptops, smartphones, tablets and more. Cloud services will increasingly be used to centralize and sync your content, so that it can be accessed across those devices.
Six Cloud advantages for small organizatioins
- Costs of migrating to cloud services are low because there’s no need for purchasing hardware – the cloud provider handles almost everything.
- Security is better with the cloud. Since there is a network of servers that store your data, hackers cannot really target a specific server and harm you
- Cloud computing is convenient. Your data is accessible from any location in the world, as long as you have access to the Internet. You do not physically have to be present at one specific computer where you data is stored on a local hard drive.
- Less glitches. Applications serviced through cloud computing require fewer versions. Upgrades are needed less frequently and you no longer have to troubleshoot problems. No more lengthy, confusing technical support calls!
- Backup is done automatically. You never have to worry about your computer's hard drive crashing. Your data is stored on remote servers that are constantly being backed up or replicated in real-time.
- Synchronize data. If you have a smart phone (e.g. Android or iPhone) you can use the cloud computer to automatically synchronize things like email, pictures, music, contacts etc, between your smart phone, cloud computer and your laptop.
