Cloud Computing
Partners
Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories:
The main benefits of a Cloud Solution are costs and accessibility. There is no initial outlay for equipment or ongoing maintenance costs; instead a fixed fee is paid monthly which is generally based on usage meaning you can become more efficient.
Remote Access is how Cloud Computing is modeled which means you can access your systems anywhere but there are two major considerations: 1) Internet connectivity – the speed and data allowance must be sufficient enough to access high demand applications 2) Security – both your Cloud Provider and your machine accessing it need a high level of security because the information you are accessing is essentially on a public network.
