Cloud computing refers to the provision of computing power, storage space, and application software via the Internet, with resources being billed dynamically and often according to consumption. Users and companies can access these resources via the Internet without having to physically own or manage them locally.
The development of cloud computing was driven by the need for more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective IT resources. The technology makes it possible to avoid large investments in hardware and infrastructure and instead access services that can be expanded or reduced as needed. It has become a central element of modern IT strategies.
Cloud computing is used in many areas, from data storage and analysis to hosting websites and applications to complex development and test environments. It is used in almost all industries, including finance, healthcare, education, and retail. It is particularly popular for implementing disaster recovery systems and scaling services globally.
The benefits of cloud computing include cost reduction, as there is no need to invest in your hardware and its maintenance. Scalability makes it possible to flexibly adapt resources to actual demand. Cloud computing also offers improved opportunities for collaboration and global accessibility of data and applications.
Cloud computing challenges include concerns about data security and privacy, as sensitive data is stored on external servers. Dependence on network connectivity and potential service outages are other risk factors. In addition, migrating existing systems to the cloud can be complex and resource-intensive.
A specific example of using cloud computing is the provision of a B2B retailer portals, which is hosted in the cloud. This allows easy scaling and integration with other cloud services such as CRM and ERP systems, resulting in improved efficiency and cost savings.
Cloud computing has established itself as a key technology for modern companies looking for a flexible, scalable and cost-effective IT infrastructure. Despite some challenges, it offers significant benefits that have made it an indispensable part of the IT landscape.
