Benefits of Cloud Computing for Technology Companies
Cloud computing, also known as cloud computing, is an internet-based data storage service that allows data sharing between all devices such as computers, phones, tablets and servers without time and space restrictions.
Cloud technology is a type of online service that enables information processing services such as server, storage, database, network, software, analysis and machine intelligence to share resources between users with an internet-based cloud computing network.
The large size of data such as documents, images and videos that people use both in their private lives and in their working environments makes it difficult to store them on their computers, phones or tablets. Cloud technology, which provides access to data anywhere at any time, provides a quick and easy solution to this problem, and provides online storage services through web-based applications without any installation.
Cloud computing provides many advantages for users and technology companies. These:
- Cost savings: Cloud computing; It reduces costs by eliminating investment costs such as setting up a data center, purchasing hardware and software, and infrastructure costs.
- Speed: Access to computing resources, being able to install and use them within minutes, provides an advantage for enterprises in terms of capacity planning, flexibility and speed.
- Global flexibility: Accessing IT resources such as computing power, storage and bandwidth at any time, regardless of geographical location and time, provides flexible scaling opportunities in a global sense.
- Efficiency: Cloud technology, which eliminates the need for an in-house data center, provides efficiency in terms of time and performance by enabling employees to focus on more important business goals.
- Performance: It provides advantages in terms of speed, efficiency and performance, such as low network latency and economical scaling, thanks to the fact that computing services operate in the worldwide network of data centers and the hardware is used in the latest version.
- Reliability: With multiple backups of computing data in the cloud provider’s network, data recovery and maintaining business continuity in critical situations becomes easier.
- Security: With the cloud provider’s strong policies, technology and controls, your data, applications and infrastructure are secured against potential threats.
- Data recovery: While data loss may occur as a result of malfunctions in devices such as computers, phones or tablets, when data is stored with cloud computing, information is not lost and re-access is possible.
- Privacy: Your information cannot be viewed by third parties unless you give permission with the access feature on cloud platforms. At the same time, it is also possible to select only the people you want for file sharing.
- Editing: With the preview feature available in cloud systems, files can be read without downloading and can be edited as desired.
- Access: As long as there is an internet connection, the data in the application that provides cloud computing service can be accessed 24/7 without interruption.
Cloud computing providers offer services in 3 main categories. Each structure is built on top of each other, and the workload of the enterprise decreases as the model increases.
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Based on information processing, this service allows you to rent cloud infrastructure on a pay-as-you-go basis.
- PaaS (Platform as a Service): It enables developers to develop, test and manage software solutions, web and mobile applications without installing infrastructure. (IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure etc.)
- SaaS (Software as a Service): The cloud provider undertakes application and infrastructure hosting and maintenance, enabling the user to run pre-determined applications directly with a web browser. (Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps etc.)
In cloud technology, computing types have been developed on the basis of 4 different architectural models in order to provide solutions to different user needs.
- Public Cloud: Infrastructure and computing resources belong to third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure. Access to cloud application services is provided by opening a paid or free account via a web browser.
- Community Cloud: It is a type of infrastructure sharing for users with common features such as government organizations, with the possibility of inter-organizational internal and external management.
- Hybrid Cloud (Hybrid/Hybrid Cloud): It provides flexibility in terms of ease of deployment by enabling data sharing between public and private cloud. It is preferred when security and privacy are important.
- Private Cloud: It is a type of cloud technology that is generally preferred by large companies and where computing resources are used by a single organization.
