ICON'S Cloud Services
The emergence of new technology has affected the way every organization manages its IT services and resources. Much of the current wave of technological evolution has been enabled by cloud computing, and this seems likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services including; Servers, Storage, Databases, Networking, Software, Analytics, and Intelligence over the internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economics of scale.
WHY CLOUD COMPUTING
Most cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks, giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning.
__________________________________________________________________________________________Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software and setting up and running on-premises datacenters—the racks of servers, the round-the-clock electricity for power and cooling, and the IT experts for managing the infrastructure.
__________________________________________________________________________________________The benefits of cloud computing services include the ability to scale elastically. In cloud speak, that means delivering the right amount of IT resources—for example, more or less computing power, storage, bandwidth—right when they’re needed, and from the right geographic location.
__________________________________________________________________________________________On-site data centres typically require a lot of “racking and stacking”—hardware setup, software patching, and other time-consuming IT management chores. Cloud computing removes the need for many of these tasks, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals.
__________________________________________________________________________________________The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure data centres, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. This offers several benefits over a single corporate datacenter, including reduced network latency for applications and greater economies of scale.
__________________________________________________________________________________________Cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity easier and less expensive because data can be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider’s network.
__________________________________________________________________________________________Many cloud providers offer a broad set of policies, technologies, and controls that strengthen your security posture overall, helping protect your data, apps, and infrastructure from potential threats.
