What’s So Great about Cloud Computing?



It seems like everyone is talking about cloud computing these days. Are you confused about cloud computing and how it can benefit you and your business? We here at IT Express would like to clarify the perks!

Definition: Using a network of remote servers on the Internet to process, store and manage data, instead of using a personal computer or local server.

  • Cloud computing is cheap to start up and maintain. In order to connect to the cloud, a person just needs Internet access and that’s it. You do not need to spend a ton of money on new hardware or software.
  • You can streamline processes and get more work done with fewer people.
  • You can keep an eye on projects more effectively.
  • No need to worry about training your employees on new software or hardware. Learning how to use cloud computing is a very easy process.
  • Buying software licensing is not necessary either.
  • You can store a large amount of data without having to buy expensive hard drives, plus if there is any issue with hardware or software, you don’t have to worry about disaster recovery. All of your data and information is securely stored.
  • You and your employees can work from anywhere – at home, on vacation, at the office!
  • You can get peace of mind knowing your data and information are secure, so no matter what happens to your computer, everything is still safe.
  • It is more environmentally friendly because you are not using any paper, you are using less energy and you are producing less carbon emissions. You will produce less of a carbon footprint.
