Cloud Computing - Thematic Intelligence

Cloud Computing - Thematic Intelligence

Summary

Cloud computing’s importance has grown significantly in recent years. It has allowed shared IT infrastructure and services to create a flexible, scalable, and on-demand IT environment. The cloud is now the dominant model for delivering and maintaining enterprise IT resources, including -hardware, software, and platforms and tools for application developers.

Key Highlights

Cloud computing provides users with an approach to consuming IT that is significantly more flexible, resource-efficient, and cost-effective than traditional IT. Cloud-based IT resources can be delivered privately, for use by one or a specific group of enterprises, or publicly, where IT resources are accessed according to multi-tenancy principles. Hybrid cloud environments, which combine the use of both public and private cloud, are increasingly popular among enterprises that want to enjoy the benefits of both.The widespread move to home-working necessitated by COVID-19 would have brought businesses to a grinding halt had investments in cloud not been made over the last 10 years. That investment now has the potential to transform the way some businesses operate.
