Cloud Computing: Why is it Becoming an Integral Part of Every Organization?

As cloud computing grows internationally, the market is forecast to exceed $923 billion by 2027 (reportlinker.com).

Storage, cost savings, scalability, flexibility, security and collaboration are the needs of Enterprise to Small industries. Network Geeks has found the way, and that is Cloud Computing.

Do you know what cloud computing is? What technology do we use at present? And the multicloud supporter, Aviatrix, the wonder cloud technology that will transform cloud computing in the near future. Let’s take a deep dive into the blog and learn all about cloud computing.

Cloud Computing: What is it?

It is very difficult to store large data manually, setup new network. Cloud computing is a big bonanza to networking. Servers, storage, databases and networking over the internet are the on-demand computing resources. This allows users to store, process & manage data on remote servers. Through a web-based interface/API users can access these resources.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

1. On-demand self-service: Cloud computing enables businesses to access computing resources, such as storage, servers, and applications, on-demand and without the need for manual intervention. This enables businesses to quickly and easily scale their computing resources up or down based on their needs.
2. Broad network access: Cloud computing allows businesses to access their data and applications from anywhere in the world, using any device with an internet connection. This enables businesses to be more productive and responsive, as employees can work remotely and collaborate in real-time.
3. Resource pooling: Cloud computing allows businesses to share computing resources, such as servers and storage, across multiple users or applications. This enables businesses to reduce costs and improve efficiency, as resources can be allocated dynamically based on demand.
4. Scalability: Cloud computing allows businesses to quickly and easily scale their computing resources up or down based on demand. This enables businesses to respond quickly to changes in demand, without the need for manual intervention.
5. Measured service: Cloud computing enables businesses to track and measure their usage of computing resources, such as storage and bandwidth, in real-time. This enables businesses to monitor and optimize their usage, and to only pay for the resources they actually use.
6. Flexibility: Cloud computing allows businesses to choose from a range of deployment models, including public, private, and hybrid clouds, depending on their needs. This enables businesses to select the most appropriate deployment model based on factors such as security, compliance, and cost.
7. Security: Cloud computing providers offer a range of security measures, including encryption, firewalls, and access controls, to protect customer data against cyber threats. Cloud providers typically have a dedicated team of security experts who are responsible for ensuring the security of their infrastructure and services.

Types of Cloud Computing

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides access to virtual servers, storage and networking infrastructure.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a platform for developing, testing and deploying applications.
• Software as a Service (SaaS) provides access to software applications over the internet.

How does Cloud Computing work?

Cloud computing works by delivering computing resources over the internet, which are provisioned, managed, and maintained by cloud service providers. Cloud computing enables businesses to access scalable, flexible, and cost-effective (pay on use) computing resources, and is increasingly becoming the standard for delivering IT services.

When a user on Netflix requests for AVENGERS the cloud service provider provisions these resources on their infrastructure. The user then can watch the movies. The other example we can take of an employee when he needs to check out the old record from the cloud. The user can then use these resources to process data, run applications and perform other computing tasks. The foremost benefit of cloud computing is it prevents data outage.

History of Cloud Computing

It may surprise you to learn that we have already been using cloud computing for over a decade.

Do you remember MAINFRAME computers?

The history of cloud computing goes back to 1960 with the advent of Mainframe computers. Companies and organizations at that time used these centralized computers to store their data.

In 1990 with the emergence of the Internet there was the dawn of Software as a Service (SaaS), one of the key models of cloud computing. Early 2000 brought AWS (Amazon Web Services) which has transformed the digital landscape. Competitors Microsoft Azure and Google cloud platform allowed businesses to build and run applications on cloud-based infrastructure. Cloud computing is a boon to IT as it reduced their costs, increased their flexibility & scalability and improved their overall efficiency.

At present top players of cloud computing are AZURE, GOOGLE Cloud, AWS, Alibaba and Oracle Cloud. But the future of cloud computing is Aviatrix clouds which supports multi-cloud.

Shortcomings of Private Clouds

Shortcomings of Private clouds tends to cause the emergence of Aviatrix.

• Expensive and time-consuming maintenance
• Limited remote access
• Not easy to deploy, especially in hard terrain.
• Low scalability
• Lack of operational visibility and control
• Lack of network security and application migration

It is assumed that the multicloud supporter, Aviatrix, is making IT better by overcoming all the above shortcomings.

Innovating with Multicloud Network Architecture: Aviatrix

Secure and efficient communication between different cloud environments is one of the biggest challenges of multi-cloud networking. By setting up encrypted tunnels between VPCs across multiple clouds and regions, Aviatrix allows you to create and manage virtual private clouds (VPCs). You can, therefore, easily set up a hybrid cloud environment or connect to multiple cloud providers to save money or to provide redundancy.

The multicloud solution, Aviatrixis a hero of cloud networks. It offers many benefits to the business that overcome native cloud limitations. It delivers advanced cloud network and security solutions for business-critical applications by encryption, role-based access control, compliance and network visibility. The automated deployment and management of gateways by Aviatrix provide connectivity and security for cloud networks. It includes scalability, simplified day-two operations & troubleshooting embedded security, cost optimization and automation. Aviatrix, the multi-cloud network connectivity, includes site-to-cloud, cloud-to-cloud, and remote user VPN access.
