Opportunities for IT in the Cloud

By 15. April 2015February 15th, 2016Virtualisation

In the already rapid change underlying information technology take place again presently large changes. In keeping with the trend towards mobile operation and the associated smartphones or tablets, a new approach has also been added so far in the field of stationary technology. About virtualization across computing environments to be redesigned and by cloud technology from the constraints previously to specific hardware and specific locations of bound IT befreit.Wie you can even benefit from it?

The Cloud offers companies the opportunity to a precisely to your needs – build IT environment, without the possibility to be circumcised to be able to react quickly to changes if necessary – and thus economical. Any change or extension of required resources can always be accomplished without problems. Due to the enormous agility, enabling cloud technologies, the boundaries of the traditional division of labor between management and IT. The IT is offset by virtualization and cloud in a position to respond in shortest terms to the requirements of the Board; the roles of the agile value as possible Creator on the one hand and the provider as long as possible economic IT on the other hand, the change in a user and a provider of resources. The objectives of economic efficiency, agility, deployment and value of any jointly. Cloud Computing is more economical! So far, the development of an IT environment was associated with very high investments, they shall be regularly for extended periods in use. At least as long until an ROI achieved. Elaborate planning and purchases with a view of the estimated required reserves for future developments were mandatory. Since subsequent changes are usually not short and simple, errors often appear from serious. IT in the cloud can be precisely adapted to current needs. That Investments are limited to the actual needs and costs incurred only for what is actually used. Cloud Computing is more agile! Changes to traditional IT are usually associated with major problems and not short term. Investments are necessary interruptions likely there is a risk of incompatibility or the (temporary) unavailability of required components. In addition, the extension or modification may not be necessary if necessary again when the need of a priori only was or requirements change otherwise another temporary. Investments may prove to be unsuitable. Virtual machines in a cloud can always be changed. An adaptation of resources to increased or decreased demand is possible at any time and in a very short deadlines. Cloud computing allows a much simpler deployment! The allocation of classic IT resources normally be able to restrictions. Firstly, the resources themselves must be present or to be created. On the other hand requires an allocation rule considerable administrative effort to set up and customize. The short-term project-based delivery of IT in possibly even higher number thus resigns from most. Cloud-based systems can provide at any time and adapt to the needs of any user specifically as a service. Cloud computing enables a substantially improved value! Until now, any time effective IT was in tension with the cost. IT that should have sufficient capacity taking into account future increasing demands must be procured with reserves. The initial investment and the ongoing costs of maintenance and care so regularly exceed the current real needs. Cloud computing actual costs correspond to the current needs. The unbound in traditional IT company resources become available for production, investment and new business models. In summary, Cloud technology offers the following advantages, especially compared to the classical forms of IT:

  • Identified effective new innovations can always be realized.
  • Deployments can be done faster, projects will be accelerated.
  • Capacity and resources can be dynamically adapted to the current actual demand. Over- and under-supply is avoided.
  • The architecture is flexible and prepared to make changes at any time.
  • After transfer to the cloud and virtualization unneeded systems and solutions can be abolished without replacement.

So it is not surprising that emanate estimates assume that it will take 5 years for half of all companies will use these technologies. The advantage, at any time to offer the right service at the right price, IT and GF comes in the same way to good.
