Cloud computing services, which offer access to data and software through the Internet rather than from a local hard drive, provide businesses and individual operators with a variety of benefits. Cloud computing can be especially useful during disaster recovery situations. A study conducted by Aberdeen Group, a research and analysis firm in the information technology (IT) industry, found that companies relying on outdated computer storage techniques spend an average of eight hours on recovery efforts following data loss and similar issues. By comparison, businesses utilizing cloud services averaged just over two hours.
The immediacy of cloud computing is another major advantage. Businesses in need of more bandwidth, for example, can contact their cloud service provider and quickly access the virtually limitless space offered by remote cloud servers. A business powered by older software components, meanwhile, would need to wait for IT specialists to visit and physically upgrade a company’s servers. Cloud services offer similar advantages when companies need to automatically update software and programs.
