Advantages of Cloud Computing.

1. Variable vs. Capital Expenses-

Instead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before knowing how you are going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources and pay only for how much you consume.

2. Economies of Scale-

Another advantage of cloud computing is that organizations benefit from massive economies of scale. By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you would get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers is aggregated in the cloud, provides such as AWS can achieve higher economy of scale, which translates into lower prices. 

3. Stop Guessing Capacity

When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an application, you often end up either sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity. With cloud computing, organizations can stop guessing about capacity requirements for the infrastructure necessary to meet their business needs. They can access as much or as little as they need and scale up or down as required with only a few minutes’ notice.

4. Increase Speed and Agility-

In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are one click away, which allows organizations to reduce the time it takes to make those resources available to developers from weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in speed and agility for the organization, because the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower.

5. Focus on Business Differentiation 

Cloud Computing allows organization to focus on their business priorities, instead of on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking, and powering servers. By embracing this paradigm shift, organizations can stop spending money on running and maintaining data centers. This allows organizations to focus on projects that differentiate their business, such as analyzing petabytes of data, delivering video content, building great mobile applications, or even exploring Mars.

6. Go Global in Minutes

Another advantage of cloud computing is go global in a minutes. Organizations can easily deploy their application to multiple locations around the world with just a few clicks. This allows organizations to provide redundancy across the globe and to deliver lower latency and better experiences to their customers at minimal cost. Going global used to be something only the largest enterprises cloud afford to do, but cloud computing democratizes this ability, making it possible for any organization.
