Business benefits of using cloud introduction.

You have always wanted to start your own business and work for yourself. The problem is, you have no clue where to start. You know that to open a business up you need some business applications, but you have no clue where your going to find the money to get those applications. You research all of things that the applications need to run a business, only to be overwhelmed by the fact that you need a data center with office space, power, servers and storage. If that wasn't enough, you find out that you will also need an advanced software staff and team of experts who can install, configure and run these data centers. When the new versions of the software come out, you need to update them. The problem is when you update them it might put the servers down. Now with all of that put into your mind, take into consideration that this is only one of potentially hundreds of application's that it takes to run a business. This alone is enough to make you rethink ever wanting to open up a business again.

Now with cloud computing, instead of running these applications yourself, cloud services allow you to use software and hardware that are managed by third parties. Currently, businesses are running lots of custom built apps through the cloud because the application can be up and running after only a few days which is impossible with traditional software. If that wasn't enough, cloud is also more accessible, secure and reliable than the majority of the traditional applications. This is because the cloud uses an application called the multi-tenancy app. The multi tenancy app is an application that all businesses share yet it is flexible enough for anyone to customize it to fit there specific needs. Since it's just one application that is run through the internet, the updates are taken care of so the apps get security and performance upgrades automatically.

All in all, cloud computing is a simple application that can have a major impact on your business. And throughout this blog I will break down the points I issued in this blog in detail and more to help you get a real understanding of why cloud computing is the way to go for a new business.

About the Blogger

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.

My name is Ibrahim Zifa and in this blog I will be talking about the business benefits incurred by cloud users. Firstly, however I would like to inform everyone about myself. I was born in Brampton, Ontario, and after living there for four years I moved to Washington D.C in the United States where I lived for fourteen years. By the time I was eighteen I had decided that I would like to return to Canada to continue my education and get my undergraduates degree from the University of Windsor. I had chosen the University of Windsor for many reasons. One of the main reasons however was for the relatively small class sizes and emphasis on the community feeling. Fast forward a couple of years, and now I am currently a second year business and economics student at the Odette school of Business.

Now that everyone briefly knows about my background, I can present to you what this blog will be focusing on; Cloud computing. In this blog I will inform you of how the cloud has become on of the most relevant terms in discussing a new business, as well as numerous ways the cloud can help entrepreneurs excel in a new business. This blog explores the business benefits one would endure by switching to the cloud while also showing how the future's technology regarding businesses is all revolved around the internet.

I hope you all enjoy these next blog posts! You are all welcome to leave comments and feedback for discussions.


Thank you,

Ibrahim
