Cloud Computing

Cloud computing provides businesses with 10 key benefits: it allows them to focus on their core activities by automating technology management; reduces costs by paying incrementally for only the services used; enables employee mobility by accessing files from anywhere; and is easy to implement without hardware purchases. Additional benefits include more secure data sharing, increased storage capacity by utilizing virtual services over the internet, flexibility, environmental benefits from reduced hardware and energy, customizable applications, and enhanced collaboration through shared documents in the cloud. A case study found that Verizon improved IT performance by 400% and reduced costs to a third of previous levels by implementing an internal cloud process.

Cloud Computing: 10 Benefits For Your Business

Cloud computing represents a new model for delivery and consumption of


IT services based on the Internet, usually utilizing scalable and often
virtualized resources as services over the Internet.

Ten benefits of cloud computing for your business:

1. Focus on your core business activity . Cloud computing provides more


automation and managing of your business technology, allowing you to
focus more on your core business activities.

2. Reduces Cost. With cloud computing, your business pays incrementally,


only for the services they use, reducing overall business costs by not
forcing you to pay energy costs associated with idle time.

3. Employee Mobility. Your employers can access important applications,


data, and files to conduct business from wherever they are, rather than
having to remain at their desks.

4. Easy Implementation. Since there is not a need for hardware


purchasing, software licenses, or implementation services, your company
can get cloud computing services started quickly and easily.

5. More Secure Data Sharing. Cloud services allow your company to share
internal data over the cloud, rather than making your internal data center
itself available to outside parties.

6. Increased Storage Capacity. By utilizing the Internet with virtual cloud


services, your company can store much more data, than it would be able
to on private computer systems.

7. Flexibility. By using a shared resource, agile and automated distribution


of computing resources among the users in the cloud allows for more
flexibility.
8. Environmental Benefits. Cloud computing reduces hardware
consumption, energy costs, and carbon dioxide emissions.

9. Easily Customized. Cloud computing gives your business the opportunity


to build custom applications on a user-friendly interface. In a competitive
world, your business needs to stand out from the rest. Customization will
help you do this.

10. Enhances collaboration. Multiple users can collaborate easily on


shared web documents. Since all the documents are hosted on the cloud,
anyone in your company with an internet connection can log into the web
and start collaborating.

Verizon Communications Case Study: According to Fari Ebrahimi, senior


vice president and chief information officer for Verizon Services
Operations, by implementing an internal cloud computing process, Verizon
improved IT performance by 400 percent and reduced their IT costs to one-
third of what they were. In lieu of this information, Verizon decided not to
build any new data centers, but to actually decrease them.

Cloud computing is an excellent solution for business looking for better


utilization of resources, flexibility, security, lower costs and environmental
sustainability.
