Cloud Computing

Today there are many companies that have decided to embark on the Cloud Computing solution, that is: the set of technologies that allow access to resources (CPU, networks, servers, storage, applications and services) in a configurable and "created tailor-made "for the required use.

In this article you will find the information that will help you to know this system, still being introduced in the Italian panorama, and to clarify any doubts.

• In Cloud Computing there is no traditional "server" intended as a single machine, possibly exposed to potential information leaks, located in a known location. Instead, there is a distributed group of interconnected servers (“the cloud”) that manage services, run applications and store documents in a way that is totally transparent to the user. With this storage system, companies (especially the largest ones) save enormously on the purchase and management of machines and infrastructures.

• The support to an external cloud computing structure favors the optimization and management of resources, improving their use, with a positive impact on the entire company. The adoption of a cloud solution, in fact, does not lead to the replacement of the IT manager but facilitates his work, thanks to the considerable savings in time and energy. In addition, an external provider adheres to much higher security measures than those usually employed in corporate companies. In addition, the cloud service provider offers contractual guarantees regarding the security and defense of corporate data.

• Through cloud computing, moreover, data can be accessed from any location and device without sacrificing confidentiality. When it comes to security, the cloud option doesn't mean giving up peace of mind at all. By choosing the cloud, this delicate task is entrusted to aspecialized company that uses the appropriate tools to ensure the security of its infrastructure, and of the data of its customers.

•Il monitoraggio dei principali servizi, effettuato da più postazioni geograficamente distribuite, unito ai controlli proattivi, permette di identificare entro pochi minuti le problematiche (connettività, host, sicurezza, ecc.), garantendo una risoluzione veloce ed efficace.

• The use of the same provider by several companies does not compromise business performance and does not mean inefficiencies in services.

• Inoltre è il sistema più adatto alle start up in quanto, permette di risparmiare i costi di investimento sui software e hardware e la gestione di questi, avendo dei risultati visibili in tempi brevi, obiettivi fondamentali per qualsiasi startup.

To conclude, we can say that Cloud Computing today represents the choice of many companies as a virtual platform for storing their data, and it is the solution that allows higher security compared to traditional physical servers, combined with the tranquility of a continuous and direct monitoring by the company manager. The comforts are many, the qualitative benefits of weight.
