Cloud computing provides services such as storage, servers, databases, networking, software, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) over the internet. It enables faster development, flexible resources, and economies of scale. Before diving into cloud computing, it’s necessary to create a cloud strategy.
Having a comprehensive plan will help define how your organization will use cloud computing to achieve your business and IT goals. For example, do you know what services, workloads and applications will move to the cloud? It’s also important to ensure the infrastructure can handle future demands. Let’s not forget about balancing cloud spending with operational efficiency to align with your sustainability goals. Another important factor is having security and compliance regulations in place. When considering a cloud infrastructure, it’s also important to find the cloud model that best fits your needs.
Public cloud offers services over the internet for multiple users. It is cost-effective and scalable but has security concerns and restricted customization.
Private cloud accommodates exclusively to single businesses which provide greater security and control along with personalized needs but at a higher cost and limited scalability.
Hybrid cloud combines both public and private for optimized operations leading to flexibility and handling tasks effectively. However, it can be difficult to manage and may perform inconsistently.
Community cloud is shared by a certain group with similar goals. These groups can benefit from cost-sharing and proper security than public clouds, but it has limited scalability, and shared resources can lead to conflicts.
Cloud technology enhances features for collaboration (such as file sharing, data sharing, CRM, etc.), can improve business continuity, and can lower operational costs. Users could benefit from its scalability, cost-efficiency, reliability, and flexibility. In addition, by utilizing collocation, businesses will eliminate the need for extensive physical infrastructure which would typically require management and maintenance of in-house data storage.
