Which are the common cloud computing services for business needs?
Cloud technology is helping many workplaces run smoothly even if they don’t fully realize it. By providing services to store and process data or even boosting collaboration, Cloud computing is essential for businesses today. For example, a workplace that uses Gmail to send emails and messages, Dropbox to store files, and apps like Slack for employee collaboration are already reliant on Cloud computing.
Why is Cloud so popular with businesses?
It reduces both capital expenditure and operational costs for a business. It enables the organisation to scale up and adopt newer digital business models. Thus, it can help businesses optimise their processes and make them cost-effective too.
As business needs continue to change, Cloud technology can help in making the transition to remote working seamless. Let’s take a look at the Cloud service models available to businesses today.
What are the types of Cloud computing services your business can use?
Cloud computing services can range from just data storage to functional business applications like accounting, customer relationship management and so on. There are 3 main types of cloud service offerings. Let’s understand each of them.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
When a cloud service provider manages the servers, network, virtualization and data storage through an internet connection. The user essentially rents IT infrastructure from the cloud provider and gets access to it through an internet connection. The provider takes care of the hardware, networking, hard drives, data storage and servers. They also take care of outages and repairs. Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services are two examples of this Cloud model.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
SaaS offerings provide users with software services over the internet. They are normally mobile or web applications that work on mobile or desktops. Users are allowed to update the software and conduct general maintenance. An example of SaaS offerings would be Google Workspace Apps or Microsoft 365.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
PaaS services include hardware and application-software platforms both being offered and managed by the Cloud service provider. Users get access to handle cloud-based tools like Application Programming Interface (APIs), gateway software and web portals. Services like Google App Engine or Kubernetes by Microsoft Azure are examples of PaaS services.
