Cost Efficiency
Resiliency and Redundancy

A cloud deployment is usually built on a robust architecture
thus providing resiliency and redundancy to its users. The
cloud offers automatic failover between hardware platforms
out of the box, while disaster recovery services are also
often included.
his is the biggest advantage of cloud computing,
achieved by the elimination of the investment in
stand-alone software or servers. By leveraging
cloud’s capabilities, companies can save on
licensing fees and at the same time eliminate
overhead charges such as the cost
of data storage, software updates,
management etc.
The cloud is in general available at
much cheaper rates than traditional
approaches and can significantly
lower the overall IT expenses. At
the same time, convenient and
scalable charging models have
emerged (such as one-time-payment and pay-as-you-go), making
the cloud even more attractive.
Convenience and Continuous
Availability
Public clouds offer services that
are available wherever the end user might be located. This
approach enables easy access to informatio
