Benefits of the Cloud

Lower Costs

As capital expenditures are converted to operational expenditures. Consumption is usually billed on a utility (like electricity) or subscription (like a newspaper) basis with little or no upfront cost, and lower maintenance costs.

Limitless Flexibility

With access to millions of different pieces of software and databases and the ability to combine them into customized services, users are better able to find needed answers.

Reliability

Improves through the use of multiple redundant sites, which makes Cloud Computing suitable for business continuity and disaster recovery.

Portability

Users can access their data and tools anywhere that they can connect to the Internet.

Simpler Devices

With data and the software being stored in the Cloud, users no longer need a powerful computer. They can interface using a cell phone, PDA, or personal video recorder.

Security

Protects critical business data with effective backup and recovery solutions.
