The cloud is an IT resource that is made available via the internet. These IT resources can be various things, including storage space, software (web applications), computing power or even entire IT landscapes (infrastructures).
From a technical point of view, one could also say that the cloud is about servers that are located in the data centre of a cloud provider (such as AWS). These servers take care of certain requirements such as providing software or data storage. The nice thing for you is that you no longer have to worry about the maintenance or operation of the servers, we would take care of that for you and in addition we can take care of the backup of the data (back-ups) as well as the failure safety.
In general, cloud computing (or “cloud” for short) refers to the use of virtualised computing resources in the cloud, which usually means that you store your data on a remote server. The transfer of your data takes place via the web. Once the files have been stored in the cloud by the user’s device, they can be retrieved later with any other device. Your company and your employees benefit from device and location-independent access to your data. In addition, there is a reduced need for storage on your local devices and if you operate your own in-house servers, these are no longer necessary, which leads to minimised expenditure on hardware and IT personnel.
Now that we have clarified what the cloud actually is and how it works, we come to the different types of cloud services, which can be divided into different types based on their organisational form:
Public Cloud – When using the public cloud, several customers share an infrastructure solution (thus less suitable for handling sensitive data).
Private cloud – In the private cloud, the infrastructure (resource) is used exclusively by one customer (company) or operated in-house; depending on how high your security and data protection requirements.
Hybrid Cloud – The hybrid cloud is a hybrid of at least one public and one private cloud that together provide a flexible mix of cloud computing services. Hybrid cloud computing consistently extends infrastructure and operations into a single operating model that manages application workloads in both environments.
Cloud migration has become an increasingly popular solution for businesses seeking to improve their data management and operations. The cloud provides numerous benefits, including increased flexibility, scalability, security, and cost savings. By migrating to the cloud, organizations can modernize their IT-infrastructure, enhance their competitiveness, and streamline their processes.
