The cloud is somewhat of a
confusing term to a lot of people,
despite the fact that it’s a major
buzzword for businesses these
days. If you’re currently using
on-premises equipment – from
servers to computers to software
– you’re likely skeptical of the
idea of someone else hosting the
equipment you depend on for
your day-to-day work. But hear
me out: the cloud is a fantastic
tool for anyone looking to cut
costs while increasing scalability,

the cloud actually is. The cloud
describes
internet
based
computing
where
shared
resources are accessed.
Essentially, there are servers
throughout facilities around
the world that house all of the
infrastructure we rely on – and
we simply access those servers
for whatever we need.
This gives us the ability to access
applications, desktops, email,
phones, and much more – all
from any location, anytime. The
best part of the cloud is the fact
that most businesses wouldn’t
be able to have the same level of
security as a cloud provider does
within their facility, so you’re
able to rest assured knowing
you’re secure without having to
invest in those measures.
Here are 4 reasons for every
business to make the change
from on-premises to cloud
computing:
