1. What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is the way by which IT applications, platforms and infrastructure are delivered to end users over the Internet as a service rather than as a product.
With cloud computing, users subscribe to servers, storage or applications, and pay monthly only for what is used, as opposed to buying these expensive items in one go. It’s like how we pay for household water consumption — we get billed at the end of each month only for the times that the tap is on. We don’t get billed for the times it is turned off. This is the beauty of on-demand — use the service when you need it, and pay only for what is used.
2. What is it to me?
It’s the best way to make your business mobile, nimble, and cost-efficient. Imagine being able to monitor business operations and manage employees and IT resources anytime, anywhere, all from the convenience of your mobile device. That’s because these applications are running on computing resources in state of the art data center facilities, and you are merely accessing them over the Internet — like web-based data storage apps or your favorite social media sites.
3. How can the cloud be used for business?
Many businesses worldwide have begun using the cloud for its operations – from their email to their customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and even making use of cloud servers instead of the traditional physical servers.
4. What is a Cloud Server?
A Cloud Server is a virtual representation of a physical machine. Unlike a physical server, a cloud server can be up and running within minutes, there is no waiting for weeks for the actual server to be delivered and installed. Another advantage of using a cloud server is that when it is no longer needed, it can simply be deleted.
5. Is my information/data secure in the cloud?
The great thing about cloud computing is that it provides easy yet secure access to all your data using any Internet-connected device. Data are secured in the cloud for as long as companies take the proper security precautions. Be sure to choose a trusted Cloud services portal such as cloud.com.ph.
