“Starter Kit” 

Did you know that over 75% of businesses experiencing a disaster & do not have a disaster recovery strategy lapse within 3 years of a disaster? 

This is the cost you’ll pay for not having a business continuity plan in place.  

Cloud computing is a cost-effective and safe solution to your disaster recovery strategy that let your business move into the modern era of surviving disasters. 

What is Cloud Computing? 

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing resources—servers, storage, applications, and services—as a service over the Internet. Simple! 

High-end AI-ML tools provide more yield & value once they’re cloud-integrated.  

• So, if you have got some basic (though not-so-perfect) ideas about cloud computing. Let’s see how small, medium, & large-scale businesses are leveraging its feature. This will help you to understand the picture crystal clearly. 

• In a survey, 47% of the participants stated that no vendor lock-ins is their favourite property from a particular cloud when using multi-cloud services. 

Cloud computing benefits small to medium businesses 

Cloud computing is the future of technology. It has been the heated buzzword for years & doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. 

• Cloud computing has been used for many purposes in recent years. It is important to know that cloud computing is not a type of storage, it is a “computing model” wherein resources are shared and available instantly. 

• All of the benefits of cloud computing for businesses are too numerous to list here but some stand out. Cloud computing can help with IT costs, data security and disaster recovery (as mentioned above), scalability, and more. 

Top 5 effective ways to use cloud computing to achieve business goals 

Not many people know the effectiveness of cloud computing in achieving business goals. That’s why we are going to share with you 5 ways that have been proven as USPs in using cloud computing. 

• Data Management: The benefit of storing data on the cloud is that it can be accessed from anywhere and managed by any person (who has access, of course!). This, further helps in better analytics, data backup & recovery. 
• Cut Costs: You would be able to cut costs by utilizing the infrastructure or software provided by the utility for a certain percentage of their capacity for a fixed monthly fee instead of purchasing expensive hardware and software licenses upfront.  

The cost-efficiency will further be applied to software testing & development as well as business processes (for example- CRM). 

• Cloud Storage: Enterprises can save data on a remote server or server farms, or local devices. With backup capabilities such as flash drives. This type of storage is cheaper than hard drive storage because you don’t need expensive equipment like servers and computers. 

• IaaS, PaaS, SaaS: The three X-as-a-Service deserve their own mention for developing, running, and managing both software and hardware services on demand.  
• Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS): This service delivers basic computing, networking, & storing resources on an on-demand basis, over the internet. The IaaS model is much more cost-effective than owning your own IT infrastructure. For example, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, etc. 
• Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS): Instead of building & maintaining a platform on-premises,  PaaS can help you to develop your applications on a cloud platform. A ready-to-use platform is more productive & profitable compared to on-premises ones. 
• Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): SaaS is perhaps the hottest service nowadays. We know many will agree with us.  

SaaS models offer software access online through a subscription model. This concept is much more convenient than buying ware & installing it in your system. 

• You can handle your own application and make it available on the internet through a browser, without having to install any software or hardware. 

• Mobile resolution: Cloud computing helps your employees to connect with your business anytime, anywhere. All this just by a simple login. This 24/7 access to the work desk will help your staff not just manage their work but also their family time. 

This is the icing on the cake for professionals who love hybrid or remote working. Above all, you are going to save on your infrastructure costs while this flexibility will do the required. 

• Outsourcing IT services:  Cyberattacks, guarding your system with malware/ransomware, managing onsite data, and servers along with eyeing applications & cloud workflows. This is the to-do list of your IT support team. This long list not only makes it a tiresome task but also an unsafe approach to dealing with cybersecurity. 

• Here, you can outsource some of the services to your CSP i.e., cloud service provider. Especially the Cybersecurity part. So that your IT team can focus on their application & cloud workflows better.
