VALUE PROPOSITION OF THE CLOUD
Cloud computing allows you to access compute, storage, databases, networks, software, and other services over the Internet from your cloud service provider on demand instead of owning physical data centers and servers. Customers can consume cloud computing services in a number of different ways: Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), Serverless computing, and Software as a service (SaaS). Cloud computing bring a number of important benefits:
Performance Efficiency
An unlimited amount of computing resources can be deployed in minutes, giving you, the customer, greater flexibility in capacity planning. The resources can be provided globally, allowing to optimize your systems geographically.
Reliability
To ensure high availability and reliability, resources and data can be mirrored in several redundant locations across multiple geographies.
Security
Cloud providers offer a wide range of services, capabilities, policies, and controls to enhance security and data protection in your solutions.
Cost Optimization
You pay only for what you use in comparison with the classical infrastructure, the costs of the purchase, configuration, operation of hardware and software, power supplies and cooling and IT are eliminated, as well as the cost of engineers to manage the infrastructure.
