Benefits of Cloud Computing

2.1.1 Benefits of Cloud Computing:

·         Reduction in upfront capital expenditure on hardware and software deployment. Consumption is usually billed on a utility (like phone bills) or subscription (like magazines) model.

·         Location independence, so long as there is access to the Internet

·         Increased flexibility and market agility as the quick deployment model of cloud computing increases the ability to re-provision rapidly as required

·         Allows the enterprise to focus on its core business

·         Increased competitive advantage

·         Increased security at a much lesser cost as compared to traditional standalone applications due to centralization of data and increased security-focused resources

·         Easy to maintain as they don't have to be installed on each user's computer
