WHAT IS A CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM?
Microsoft Azure is an example of a cloud computing platform, but what exactly is one and why should you migrate to the cloud?
A cloud computing platform is a virtual infrastructure that provides computing resources, such as storage, servers, databases, networking and software applications over the internet as opposed to physical infrastructures. As a result, it allows businesses to access and utilise these resources on-demand.
HOW COULD CLOUD COMPUTING BENEFIT MY BUSINESS?
The benefits of a cloud computing platform for your business include:
Scalability: Cloud platforms offer the flexibility to scale resources up or down based on your business needs. You can easily allocate additional computing power, storage or software licences as your requirements change, ensuring optimal resource utilisation and cost-efficiency.
Cost-savings: With a cloud platform, you can reduce or eliminate the need for expensive hardware investments and maintenance. Cloud services operate on a pay-as-you-go model, allowing you to pay only for the resources you consume, resulting in cost savings and predictable expenditure.
Security: Cloud providers implement robust security measures, including data encryption, access controls, and threat monitoring, to protect your data. They often have dedicated teams focused on maintaining and enhancing security, reducing the burden on your business.
