Cloud Solutions
Your data and resources online
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is a technology that allows access to IT resources (such as servers, storage, databases, software, etc.) via the Internet, rather than from a local computer or server.
You need a place to store your files, software to manage your operations, and a server to host your website.
Traditionally, you would have to buy and maintain all this equipment. This means purchasing servers, hard drives, software, and ensuring that everything works correctly at all times, which can be costly and complicated.
With cloud computing, instead of buying and managing all this hardware and software, you can simply “rent” them from a specialized company (like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud). These companies own massive data centers filled with servers and hard drives, and they allow you to use these resources via the Internet.
The advantages of cloud computing include:
- Peace of mind: You don’t need to buy expensive hardware or pay for its maintenance.
- Uptime: Software and systems can be updated automatically by the provider according to the context and usage, freeing you from this task.
- Uptime: Specialized companies like AWS or MS Azure generally guarantee 99.99% uptime for many services, meaning the service may only be unavailable for 52.26 minutes per year.
- Flexibility: You can easily increase or decrease the amount of resources you use depending on your needs. For example, if your website suddenly gets a lot of visitors, you can instantly increase your server capacity to handle the influx.
- Accessibility: You can access your files and applications from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an Internet connection.
- Security: Cloud providers invest heavily in security to protect their customers’ data.
In summary, cloud computing is like renting IT resources, accessible via the Internet, allowing you to enjoy all the benefits of technology without the hassle of managing hardware and software.
