Cloud computing enables companies to use IT resources flexibly via the internet. These IT resources, including applications, servers and data, are managed in remote data centers by cloud service providers.
The advantages lie in cost reduction, increased agility and global provision. The cloud computing service models are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). There are different cloud types such as public, private, hybrid and multi-cloud, each with specific management overheads and security levels. Cloud computing offers a modern alternative to traditional IT, with benefits such as agility, scalability, cost savings and global deployment. Companies can access their needs flexibly and benefit from efficient use of resources. The term cloud computing refers not only to resource access, but also to the underlying technology that uses virtualized IT infrastructure. This enables cloud providers to use resources efficiently and offer companies maximum capacity utilization and cost savings.
Cloud computing is a contemporary solution for companies to meet the challenges of the digital age and maximize business opportunities.
