Cloud computing, often referred to as simply “the cloud,” is the delivery of on-demand computing resources—everything from applications to data centres—over the Internet on a pay-for-use basis.

cloud computing provides a variety of computing resources , from servers and storage to enterprise applications such as email, security, backup/DR, voice, all delivered over the Internet. The Cloud delivers a hosting environment that is immediate, flexible, scalable, secure, and available – while saving corporations money, time and resources.

Cloud computing is a new approach that reduces IT complexity by leveraging the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure, consumed as a service Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resource, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.“

Implementing new technologies means always being one step ahead. Cloud computing is persistently gaining popularity, and there are solid reasons for that.

Mobility
Working in the Cloud means always keeping your hand on the pulse. Today, when remote teams are common practice and the pace of our lives is fast as never before, we always need to be ready to react, wherever we are.

Flexibility
Using remote servers enables to meet the company’s growing demands faster and with more convenience. The capacity of these servers is much higher, as they are independent from the hardware and can be easily adjusted.

Team collaboration
Always being in sync saves time and therefore increases productivity. Working in the cloud provides a common environment where everyone has a chance to participate, and receive updates instantly.

Security
Cloud computing provides unprecedented fraud- and theft-protection of your data because of the inability to access your equipment. Your data will always be safe, even if something happens to your computers or devices.

Disaster recovery
Cloud computing providers take care of the technical issues. The company can spend up to four times less time and money on technical support and disaster recovery plans.

Our company works with two leading Cloud providers – Amazon and Azure. We provide the services of the highest quality and we are always ready to share some advice on what suits each of our customers best.

Amazon Web Services is a bundled remote computing service that provides cloud computing infrastructure over the Internet with storage, bandwidth and customized support for application programming interfaces (API).

Windows Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that enables you to quickly build, deploy and manage applications across a global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters. You can build applications using any language, tool or framework. And you can integrate your public applications with your existing environment.

Cloud Computing Deployment Models:

Public cloud

• Public cloud (off-site and remote) describes cloud computing where resources are dynamically provisioned on an on-demand, self-service basis over the Internet, via web applications/web services, open API, from a third-party provider who bills on a utility computing basis.

Private cloud

• A private cloud environment is often the first step for a corporation prior to adopting a public cloud initiative. Corporations have discovered the benefits of consolidating shared services on virtualized hardware deployed from a primary datacenter to serve local and remote users.

Hybrid cloud

• A hybrid cloud environment consists of some portion of computing resources on-site (on premise) and off-site (public cloud). By integrating public cloud services, users can leverage cloud solutions for specific functions that are too costly to maintain on premise such as virtual server disaster recovery, backups and test/development environments.

Community cloud

• A community cloud is formed when several organizations with similar requirements share common infrastructure. Costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud but more than a single tenant.
