Move to cloud computing-Find the importance of cloud Computing in UAE

Cloud computing and dedicated hosting, when implemented thoughtfully, can be secure, cost-effective, flexible, scalable and fast.

These features allow it to provide what IT has and will always need: a way to increase the IT capacity without investing in new infrastructure, training new and existing personnel, and licensing new software.

The reasons for the Switching to Cloud Computing are many, cheaper, faster more efficient and more reliable approaches to running web-based applications than traditional IT computing.

Types of Cloud Computing

The Cloud – often known as the “Public Cloud,” an off-premise (hosted), multi-tenant solution that enables a true utility computing model

Private Cloud – single-tenant virtualization solutions hosted either on- or off-premise

Dedicated Hosting – both virtualized and un-virtualized single-tenant computing solutions hosted off-premise

Hybrid Hosting – a mix of the Cloud and dedicated hosting/private cloud in a solution

Picking a Cloud Platform

Here are some important qualities to consider in a platform provider:

• What kind of customer service and response time do they guarantee?
• How flexible are their service level agreements (SLA)?
• Is their platform an open-source one or a proprietary, closed one?
• Do they bill a fixed or variable cost for capacity?
• What are the technical specifications that they support?
• Do they offer both dedicated hosting and cloud computing solutions under one roof?

Summary

The Cloud concept can potentially solve the challenges of slowness, overburdened resources and expensive costs that many enterprises are dealing with in their IT environments. Among cloud solutions, the Cloud, dedicated hosting/private cloud and hybrid hosting each provides viable options that can meet varying needs appropriately. To decide among these three, each enterprise should consider latency, security and legacy hurdles. Finally, if an enterprise deems cloud computing to provide true speed, resource and cost advantages, it should select a cloud platform that will not hinder the largest benefit of the cloud concept: flexibility.

Are you ready for the cloud?

While there is plenty of hype about cloud computing, it can bring you real benefits. Embracing cloud where it makes sense for your business can speed your time to revenue and reduce your costs. But embracing cloud means cutting through the hype to find real solutions.
