Online services are now an essential part of business infrastructure from e-mail to Web-based applications. To enable an online service requires significant investment in hardware, storage and bandwidth. Consequently, it has been beyond the means of all but the largest organisations.
Now, this has changed and even the smallest business can take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing.
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing enables an organisation to utilise the most up to date resources they need (processor power, memory, storage and bandwidth) to ensure their business can operate at maximum efficiency; without the need to make an expensive upfront investment.
By purchasing your computing resources, as you would for a utility service, you are charged on a pay-as-you-go basis. It also means that you do not need to have any expertise in supporting the technology infrastructure that you are using.
Resource investment
