Another Year For Cloud Computing
Another Year For Cloud Computing
Since 2011 has been a beautiful year for cloud computing, some people have actually begun to acknowledge the potential of cloud technology. Well, with the all-time-record breaking temperatures during and after last year’s record-breaking hottest weather and incessant freeze-framing weather we had here in the US, it’s no wonder that this information technology-generated technology is poised to change the way businesses do business forever, is slowly gathering speed. It has moved from a wannabe; to a forerunner.
There’s a way to the accepted position that cloud computing is here to stay. Gone are the days when cloud-based software solutions were flaunted with ‘big name’ companies such as Microsoft and Google; now they are commonplace with smaller tech giants such as Salesforce.com. The number of big cloud-based companies is also on the rise; all these companies belong to the small and medium business (SMB) segment. That explains a lot.
The SMB segment is extremely concerned about the future of their businesses. They are constantly coming to the aid of their technology outsourcing counterparts in the big countries to grab third-party attention. These SMB customers are looking for cost-effective data management solutions to get the best deals when it comes to selecting, purchasing, and implementing software applications.
The most widely observed change happening across the SMB market is the move alongside the cloud, there has also been a Versata Management Service (VMS) installation boom. The Versatafeet – or virtual software system is the integration of physical and virtual data. It has increased the monetization of ICT assets in the data centers.
These centers are succeeded by an increasing number of cloud-based management systems from management software vendors such as Salesforce.com, Microsoft, Google, and SAP HostGator. These management software vendors have revolutionized the way that hosting applications are offered to the SMB market. They have dramatically reduced the cost of maintenance and the control span to the end consumer.
Cloud-based applications infrastructure as we know it today is conventionally managed using software, which does all the Administrative tasks for you. This software, generally already has all the pre-installed software applications that are required to run your management software at optimum performance. These applications are usually run on the ‘server’ computer which is physically located in the data center.
These applications are virtual in nature. That means you have to install them and integrate them into your computer to allow you to use them.
Virtual software management services supplement a business’s existing IT infrastructure, by providing non-intrusive hosting solutions in a virtual computing environment.
Unlike the more traditional storage-based software solutions, virtual software management applications are positioned to provide businesses with bidirectional access to computing resources which is isolated from traditional hardware and device-based storage devices found in your data centers.
In addition to virtual hardware, you have to virtualize the licensing conditions and purchasing obligations. You have to ensure that the supply chain relationships are managed effectively, to ensure that the business has the right amount of products that can be deployed based on demand.
Virtualization has the added benefit of giving the business the ability to rapidly react to external and internal factors ensuring that the business systems are able to adjust to conditions quickly, in a safe environment.
