The Future is in the Cloud: How Businesses are Making a Shift
By Kireeti Gudipati
Businesses that have been around for a while might be curious as to why cloud computing has become such a hot concept in recent years. Simply put: it works.
Whether your business is a small operation or a large-scale corporation, cloud computing has given brands the capability of supercharging their existing processes by saving on server costs while far outperforming the typical metrics of traditional server systems. Holding unlimited memory and with impressive capabilities in handling CPU processes, cloud computing simply offers more than the server setup of yesterday.
As the global economy has become closely tied to the progression of IT, cloud computing is becoming more accessible at the same rate. Affordable options continue to arise through different iterations of cloud computing services. Whether you’re using cloud services provided through media giants like Google and monitoring and analyzing backend data around the clock or simply storing files on DropBox, there are ways to meet your budget by finding the right method for your business.
Remote access is absolutely crucial for businesses today in an increasingly fast-moving business world. You need to be able to access your business from anywhere, especially as remote work slowly becomes mainstream. It’s my professional opinion that cloud computing will become absolutely crucial for the vast majority of businesses in the coming years, especially considering its viability in helping to facilitate. Just look at how many businesses failed during the pandemic due to having systems that were not converted to a digital space.
Cloud computing allows you to draw on limitless resources, whereas a business could keep physical servers with no recourse when the bandwidth is not enough to handle your data. Team members in your organization now have the capability to work together when states or even time zones apart with the help of cloud computing services, with your business-pertinent information accessible to everyone within a company. Even enabling team members to work simultaneously on a shared project in real time. While a cloud-based disaster has the potential to set your business back, the data is much more recoverable when compared to a similar catastrophe with a traditional server.
When you move your business processes to a digitized space you’re not only converting your business processes to a digital sphere, but you’re also bringing greater efficiency by downsizing your physical resources. I assist client after client in developing a cloud-based computing system for their organization that works while also being cost-effective. As a specialist in cloud-based technology, I can say with security that this technology is here to stay.
