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.

Why an Annual maintenance contract for a server will provide you peace of mind-

Image
A server is a dedicated computer program that provides functionality for other computer programs. Servers can provide multiple functionalities- networking, application host, communication environment, computing resources to name a few. A server is critical for keeping your computing environment up-and-running all the time. Hence, annual maintenance contract is crucial for your business. In order to have a computing environment in the optimal condition, there needs to be regular server maintenance updates, installation of (patches) and diagnostics to monitor irregular or unexpected volatilities/ errors Here are the reasons why you should maintain your server- 1)    Good server maintenance will increase the lifespan of your server 2)    Server AMC is cost effective since you reduce your IT overhead 3)    Service contract prevents major server failures with routine checkups 4)    Server maintenance maintenance includes diagnostics that can provid

How does Software Defined Networking (SDN) Work?

Image
Visiting back, SD-WAN  is an acronym for software-defined  networking  in a wide area network (WAN). SD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by decoupling (separating) the networking hardware from its control mechanism -Wikipedia Since SD-WAN separates  network mechanism  (WAN architecture) from its control mechanism (Routing Protocols and decisions), the routing decisions for each request can be made intelligently. No longer does a data packet or an application request from the Branch office need to Travel Back to the data center for it to be routed. Intelligence is added at the branch office location itself so that traffic can be routed across the WAN for the highest performance and efficiency outputs. How does SD-WAN work? In a network infrastructure environment, there are two planes- the data plane and the control plane. In an SD-WAN environment, the two planes are separated. However, in the traditional model, The Data plane and the control pl

CITRIX VDI as a solution

The challenges of these past few months have transformed our workplaces in numerous ways. More recently, a Gartner survey had reported that 88% of organizations have asked employees to work-from-home and nearly all organizations (97%) have canceled any work-related travel. Work-from-home, therefore, has become the new norm of the workplace today. While the workplace shifts to different environments, business continuity must continue. Businesses should not suffer from a remote work environment. Having the best virtual workplace environments helps to bridge this gap.  However, this is not always convenient. A remote worker faces various challenges. Common complaints include inaccessibility to essential applications and files, network connectivity,  security  threats, lack of essential devices, and low performance. This means there is a need in organizations to increase the capacity, capability, manageability, and visibility of a remote worker so that the technical issues do n
