As a business owner it is important to ensure that you are always leveraging the most effective, yet economical solutions possible. Cloud computing solutions used to be one of those things that most people had heard of, but few truly did understand. If you thought that this was simply a passing trend, it is time to think again.
Benefits of cloud computing over on-premise infrastructure spans various reasons including cost and performance increases in not only agility deploying new features, but also in resiliency with data centers across the globe with providers such as AWS, Azure, Google and IBM.
Makes Big Data Easy to Manage
Finally, cloud computing makes it easier for companies to handle so-called “Big Data.” Traditional data storage methods (not cloud) have not always provided a simple way for companies to carry out advanced analysis of their databases. In the case of large firms, this process can take many weeks and require highly knowledgeable specialists.
The cloud provides the necessary tools to sort through lots of unstructured data quickly and easily. Yet another area where cloud computing affects productivity and profits in a positive way.
Companies such as the aforementioned Oracle have recently started focusing much of their attention on cloud technology. This certainly signals a shift in the business data management landscape, but in a very positive way.
