Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is Internet-based computing whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.
Cloud computing is a paradigm shift following the shift from mainframe to client server in the early 1980s. Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves over-the-Internet provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources. This takes the form of our web-based tools that users can access and use through a web browser as if it was a program installed locally on their own computer. The term "cloud" is used as a metaphor for the Internet. A key element of cloud computing is customization and the creation of a user-defined experience. Most cloud computing infrastructures consist of services delivered through common centers and built on servers. Clouds often appear as single points of access for all consumers' computing needs. Other major cloud service providers include Microsoft, HP, IBM, Amazon and Google.
Key Features
-
Agility improves with users' ability to rapidly and inexpensively reposition technological infrastructure resources.
-
Cost is greatly reduced and capital expenditure is converted to operational expenditure. Annual hosting is provided by Seed and Harvest Ministry and does not need to be purchased for one-time or infrequent computing tasks.
-
Device and location independence enable users to access systems using a web browser regardless of their location or what device they are using (e.g., PC, mobile). As infrastructure is off-site on our secure servers and accessed via the Internet, users can connect from anywhere. Multi-tenancy enables sharing of resources and costs across a large pool of users.
-
Reliability is improved which makes well designed cloud computing suitable for business continuity and disaster recovery.
-
Maintenance our cloud computing applications are easier to maintain, since they don't have to be installed on each user's computer. They are easier to support and to improve since the changes reach the clients instantly.
-
Metering cloud computing resources usage are measurable and can be metered per client and application on daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis.
