Cloud Computing or cloud computing in English, is a new technology that allows offering services through the internet, without needing to use the capacity of our terminal (computer, mobile…).
How does Cloud Computing work?
“Cloud Computing” offers different computing services in an easy and accessible way to everyone, without needing to have great knowledge.
The types of services offered in general are very broad, but we could say that the most used are these:
Software as a Service (Software as a Service or SaaS for its acronym in English). For example… FacturaDirecta. Yes, FacturaDirecta would be a good example of SaaS.
Platform as a Service (PaaS). In this case I will cite as an example, Google App Engine.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). As could be Amazon Web Services.
Advantages of Cloud Computing
I’ll tell you some advantages of “Cloud Computing”:
More adjusted costs since a large part of the infrastructure, as well as its maintenance, corresponds to the computing provider.
Ease in terms of maintenance and updates, as they depend directly on the service provider.
Better performance and greater security, since cloud systems are controlled by professionals who are in charge of improving performance through process optimization, as well as security using resources that generally, a normal user could not afford and carrying much more exhaustive control to avoid problems.
It allows being more aware of everything related to the service without needing to have continuous and direct contact with the provider, since ease of use, continuous availability of resources and prevalence of self-service are intimately linked to the concept of the cloud.
By accessing from the Internet, you can do it from any device, anywhere and at any time.
Ease when migrating data, offering new technological resources, integrations…
