Cloud Computing could replace your IT department

There is a possibility one day cloud computing will eradicate the need for an IT department. Just as the internet has revolutionised the print industry reducing the need for magazines and newspapers, so too could the cloud transform things and remove the need for in-house IT support.

Cloud computing has supporters and sceptics but there is no doubt it is gaining popularity. Whether you are a fan on not there is a growing number of cloud computing companies that are creating affordable IT solutions for SMEs who cannot afford their own server. The take up of cloud computing is still a little slow as with anything new people are waiting for more case studies and further information as to how cloud computing can be used to gain advantages.

It will take some time for cloud computing to make the IT department completely extinct. Using cloud apps doesn’t mean that everything need be in the cloud you may wish to use a mixture of both in house business servers and cloud computing.

Over time, however, expect the cost savings of hosting in the cloud to provoke profit seekers into action, migrating more and more of their in-house data into the cloud. There is no doubt of the cost benefits of migrating to the cloud. If you are looking to move your business into the could talk to Catalystic about how we can help.

The Rise of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a relatively new phenomenon which is taking the IT sector by storm. The continued growth of cloud computing is revolutionising the business world.

Cloud computing is the concept of delivering business IT solutions over the internet making them scaleable and more cost effective for businesses. Cloud computing is also known sometimes as software as a service although cloud computing is emerging as the favourite term for business IT solutions provided online.

Cloud computing is an outsourcing model which makes use of the excess server capacity of specialised providers, for example Google provide cloud computing services. Your business IT applications may be split among many machines, sometimes called virtual servers, which also work on the tasks of other companies.

Cloud computing can help small businesses ease capacity issues. You don’t need to invest in your own servers or hire staff to take care of them. Instead, you pay only for the capacity you need to use. And as demand rises, you can increase your capacity in line with your business growth, without interruptions. Traditionally you have the servers set up and occupying space, you are paying a fixed amount whether you use the server or not.

These cost benefits are one of the main reasons behind the rise of cloud computing and the growing industry it has become. If you want to know how you can make use of cloud computing in your business contact Catalystic.
