Benefits Of Cloud Computing


Does cloud make sense for all?
What are the benefits of cloud computing to your organization?

Scalability

The foremost benefit of cloud is scalability. Capacity of cloud can be adjusted according to your changing business demands. For example, if you are promoting a sales activity, capacity can be immediately expanded and you can avoid losing sales and crashing servers. Once the sales activity is over, capacity can be immediately shrunk to reduce your costs

Lower Costs

No capital expenditure on fixed hardware resources. At the same time, you save costs on maintenance of computing resources. You pay according to your operational needs based on a subscription plan.

24x7 Availability

Most cloud providers have an up-time of 99.9%

Automated Software Updates

The server suppliers regularly update software including updates on security, so that you do not waste time on maintaining the systems

Enhanced Collaboration

Cloud applications enhance collaboration by authorizing diverse groups of people who meet and exchange information with the help of shared storage. This helps in providing better customer service, reduced product development life-cycles and reduced go-to-market time.

Easy management of documents

Earlier, workers needed to send file as email-attachments and ultimately created multiple copies of the same file. This wasted a lot of effort in retrieving and tracking the correct information to be passed on-to different stake-holders. Moving to cloud provides central file storage option.
IT maintenance and management capacities are backed by SLA, central resource administration and managed cloud infrastructure. This ensures guaranteed and timely management, maintenance and delivery of IT services.

What are Linux containers?

Image
In contrast to traditional applications where all components are developed in one piece, some types of applications become easier to build and maintain when they are broken down into smaller pieces that work synchronously. Applications that are built as modular components are easier to understand, test and maintain. Naturally, this makes your organization more agile. Organizations can benefit from time reduction, scalability, and resilience. So, what are  Linux Containers ? Linux Containers are a set of one or more processes that are isolated from the rest of the system. Simply put, Containers are software packaging applications that isolate only those components that are needed for its operation. Containers encapsulate software/service, application, all of its dependencies and a minimal amount of runtime applications that it needs to perform its function. Linux Containers  are therefore very similar to traditional Virtual Machines. But then, How are Linux...

Is IP address Enough To Track a user?

  When you wish to trace someone through their  IP address on the network , not only is the IP address needed but also the data and time details of the person accessing an IP address. What happens when you want to browse on the internet? You are assigned an IP address. Now an IP address is of the format ABCD.ABCD.ABCD.ABCD Value of each ABCD ranges from 0 to 255. Each combination of the above will lead to a different address. An example of an IP address can be 1234.0A12.91BE. Since the number of IP addresses are then, limited, a limited number of IP addresses exist in the world. Given the number of internet users and multiple devices accessing the internet, it is not always possible to assign a user a unique static IP address. So here comes the role of dynamic IP addresses. Now, Dynamic IP is provided in real-time to users on the web. Dynamic IP or DHCP is provided by your ISP provider for a fixed time depending on location, date and time of the day. Every time ...
