KNOW ABOUT HYBRID CLOUD COMPUTING
Hybrid cloud computing platform is the recent raging trend in technology that has totally changed the way businesses access and store information. It is a generic term used in the way hosted services are delivered using the Internet. Hybrid cloud computing platform has allowed small and large businesses to use computing services as a utility like a telephone or electricity service; to use as the need arises and pay for it as a service. This has saved immense costs in building and maintaining large infrastructures in computing and storage.
Under normal circumstances, the range and variety of software and hardware configurations for businesses to run applications for their operations has been very complex - installation, configuration, testing, security and updating were all complex tasks attended by experts.
Hybrid cloud computing platform has simplified the whole process by doing away with the tedious tasks of installing hardware and software and maintaining them; as a shared infrastructure utility which allows businesses to pay for what they need and use, it has made automation and scaling up easy.
Among the many attractive advantages for end-users and business corporations, three main benefits stand out.
1. Elasticity - businesses can scale up requirements as computing needs and demands increase and scale down when needs are not so much
2. Pay per use - because computing resources can be measured, this allows users to pay only for the resource and workload utilization depending on need
3. Self-service provisioning - end-users can utilize computing resources for any kind of on-demand workload requirement without the need or intervention of IT administrators.
