Why Letting Your Data Float in the Cloud is a Good Idea?

Gone are the days when you installed a software on your system to manage your business files, documents and routine records. Times have changed.

In the world of the Internet, you are requested to deal with new concepts and adopt new practices. Here, we are pointing at cloud computing and discussing certain points to consider now.

Cloud is ubiquitous, whether you are checking your account balance on your smartphone or connecting to a professional via LinkedIn. Everything that you can think of over the Internet is managed by cloud.

It is that era of technology where businesses thrive to accomplish tasks with minimal effort. And no wonder, they have opted cloud to do the needful.

Cloud computing lets you manage business remotely, streamline tasks like never before, increase efficiency and more.

Let’s explore top ten reasons why you need to consider cloud application development for your business.

1. Data backup is sublime

Let go worries of a system crash, wiped memory, hard drive failure and more. Because you can back up files, folders, documents and from anything to everything that you have uploaded onto a cloud easily. Even if your system crashes or you run a malicious program on your system that wipes off all the data stored on your system, don’t get worried. Cloud covers it all keeping your data safe just like inside a cocoon.

2. You won’t be innovation deprived

A noble benefit of using cloud application development services is that you aren’t deprived of innovation at any point in time. Whenever there is a new version available, your cloud-enabled app gets updated and you can immediately access new features and capabilities, which isn’t the case with your software on the premises. It becomes a costly affair to upgrade your system to the latest version of the software and you are forced to use an outdated version for weeks, months or even years.

3. It is highly secure

The data stored in the cloud in absolutely secure and is not vulnerable to unauthorized access. The technology enables you to create a private account with limited access. You can grant permission to only a selected group of trusted employees for accessing this data. This keeps the data secured and is available to only a handful of employees.

4. You have the power to access everything remotely

Cloud computing has advanced to mobile platform which enables you to access files and documents from literally anywhere in the world. Cloud application development has flourished big time lately, enabling users to access cloud servers from an app installed on their mobile device. You can now work from anywhere, remotely manage a team, provide flexibility to your team members and achieve desired results with no geographical limitations.

5. Cloud computing is scalable

Traditionally managed businesses required to have additional servers, software licenses and other paraphernalia in case a need arises. But with cloud computing, you don’t have to stock as its on-demand scalable option makes it extremely easy for you to add additional resources as and when the requirement arises. It takes only a few minutes to upgrade to newer capabilities.

6. The team collaboration is enhanced

With the cloud, teams physically located in different regions can collaborate in an effective manner. They can share files, edit the documents in real-time, update them, discuss a problem, resolve it and do much more than ever imagined. This not only helps in keeping everyone on the same page but unite everyone to grow together as a team, which in return, brings mammoth rewards.

7. You cut down resource costs

Conventional methods demand infrastructure to store data, files, records and more. Whereas cloud demands limited investment. You don’t have to spend dollars in procuring and maintaining computer systems and external drives for data storage. With cloud apps, internal resource costs are minimized, which adds to your economic advantage.

8. You can try before you deploy

Most companies today offer free trials to test and experience the value that a cloud adds to their business. With a trial version, you get an idea of how ‘the new thing’ works and is it worth investing? Considering the other options, there is no such trial feature with a desktop-based application. You have to invest a hefty amount upfront in order to set up systems on the premises.

9. Cloud doesn’t require you to spend a small fortune

There are public cloud servers, which you acquire on a shared basis. By shared server, we mean a server is shared among several parties where you have to pay only for your server space and not for the entire server. Plus, you don’t have to devote funds in maintaining the infrastructure, which cut expenses considerably.

10. There are multiple options to choose from

According to your business needs, you can select from the available cloud servers- private, public, hybrid, dedicated and more. Each has its own unique features that you can use to your advantage.

Final words

In the end, all we can say is that ‘digital world is flourishing and it’s time for you to upgrade’ as well. Simplify things at work, assemble them in the right shelves, be wise in taking decisions and devote time in researching technology trends- one of them is cloud computing.
