Since cloud environment does not reside in a capital facility, there is a substantial saving of the time and space. Also, it provides users access only to the resources they need for a particular task. This prevents them from paying for idle computing resources. Besides, there are competing providers for this service and an organization can always shift its business to another company offering better service or lower price. In terms of statistics, we spend $6,000 per month to update software, maintain our computer lab, and pay our employees. However, implementing a cloud computing with a constructing price of $2800 will incur a cost as low as $249 per month (Hinchcliffe 2009).

All types of business models can find benefits from cloud computing infrastructure. As for example cost and flexibility from small business viewpoint whereas total IT problems can be solved for large companies. It will add advantages for companies, their employees, consumers, distributor where the overall business solution can be provided.

After reading many articles about Cloud Computing I saw the bright future for these types of cloud services. Aside from educating myself on this topic I feel that this could be beneficial to my fellow Computer Technology peers to address their client or employers cloud needs as well as people who are going to start a business and are looking at the options available to address their companies demands.

On 05/17/16, APM Orlando reviewed POS data as well as CCTV to confirm this. CCTV data revealed that Shift Leader (SFL) Gloria Buabeng rang under Service clerk (SVCD) Gloria Betancourt name, SFL Buabeng rang up gift cards which is over the set limit as per company policy.

Simple management supports good security. If you manage multiple screens, you are more likely to miss an important security alert or issue. With one pane, you can remain focused on the most important issues.

Businesses, be it small-scale or large-scale, use cloud computing for the storage of data since it is cheaper than buying hardware and software separately.

Cloud computing provides simplified management and maintenance by have all IT resources, agreements, and infrastructures centrally managed. All maintenance and updates are done by the CSP, allowing the business to have a simple web-based interface to access all applications, software and services without any installation in a timely manner. (Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloud Computing, 2015). Cloud computing also allows easy access to share files from any device with an internet connection. This makes it very simple to manage data and documents from any location at any time.

This approach provides the SME a better opportunity to obtain a competitive advantage through cloud technology, and potentially makes these benefits more valuable, as services residing on the cloud reduce or even eliminate many of the overhead expenses associated with software solutions. The benefit is these overhead costs can be evaded to let the provider handle those aspects of the applications. In turn, the SME can focus completely on the benefits without having to deal with the problem of maintenance.

Usability of cloud service has made it easier for an organization to use this service. For instance, its ability to drag and drop from local storage to the cloud is seamless and it integrates with either a PC or Mac. Therefore, it frees up bandwidth on the local storage, which ultimately means that local servers will run quicker and far more efficient. In addition, the cloud service also provides a link to data recovery, incase local storage experiences a disaster of some sort. All of which, ultimately, reduces cost for an organization.

Today’s world of cloud computing is complex. The majority of users have moved beyond initial cloud adoption into a multi-cloud environment. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Ostrato found that almost two out of three (65%) businesses report implementing more than one cloud service in their IT departments. Of these respondents, 88% are planning on increasing their usage of cloud services during the next twelve months.

In the recent decade, the price of storage and bandwidth has continously decreased, and so cloud based services are most sought after and more attractive to small and medium-sized business(SMBs), which are seeking to reduce licensing costs, avoid recruiting IT staff and focus fully on their core responsibilty- growing the business. Although the cloud provides SMBs the cost effective option, companies need to be careful and should not fall into the “all cloud” solution strategy. There is no one model which fits in for all the requirements rather than diving headfirst into the Cloud, SMBs would do well to see how they can maximize the benefits of their existing set-up as well as those that a Cloud-based service can give them. With the hybrid delivery model, SMBs can leverage best of both type of infrastructure without long term commitments, unnecessary costs and the inefficiencies of hosted and on-premise models.

Cloud-based applications often enable access to specialized technology and advanced computing resources that otherwise would have not been accessible to SMEs (Saugatuck 2008).

Cloud computing also allows clients to share IT resources with other companies, reducing costs that are related to purchasing licensed software and servers. In addition to basic cloud hosting services, many providers also include cloud-based data backup storage and recovery services that can be used to add an extra layer of security and disaster preparation to your organization. Other services that can save money and benefit your business include hosted application exchanges, desktop services, software as a service (SaaS) and hardware as a services (HaaS), as well as other solutions and options.

Security in the age of internet has become a tremendously important issue to provide comfort not only for paranoid people but for many others who are naïve to believe that protection in digital era is essential to communication between millions of people that increasingly used as a tool for commerce.

The cloud enables the data center to operate like the Internet and computing resources to be accessed and shared as virtual resources in a secure and scalable manner. Like most technologies, trends start in the enterprise and shift to adoption by small business owners.
