    • What is cloud computing?

    • Enterprises today are increasingly turning to a broad range of cloud computing solutions to compete more effectively by increasing agility, reducing costs and improving scalability. But what is cloud computing exactly, and how does it benefit businesses and IT departments? Here we will discuss these questions in details, and offer information about industry-leading cloud products from Dell Technologies.

    • Benefits of cloud computing

    • Cloud computing enables organizations to access computing technology that is delivered as-a-Service over the Internet or via a dedicated network connection. Rather than buying, installing and managing computing technology on premises — servers, storage, applications, databases, networks and more — organizations can access a shared pool of convenient, on-demand computing resources that are offered, managed and upgraded by a third-party provider.

    • What is cloud computing designed to achieve?

    • Cloud computing makes it easy for organizations to rapidly provision resources from cloud providers, scaling quickly and easily as demand for computing resources increases. Organizations can release resources just as easily while paying only for the resources they consume.

    • What is cloud computing in public vs. private clouds?

    • A public cloud is a third-party cloud computing service that offers services to a number of clients while a private cloud provides resources for a single company from infrastructure that may reside within the company’s own data center. Both public and private clouds are built on virtualization and provide IT resources via the internet or a dedicated network connection.

    • What are cloud computing business benefits?

    • Cloud computing enables businesses to always have the computing resources they require to take advantage of business opportunities, respond to threats and change direction as market conditions dictate. Cloud computing helps to accelerate innovation while minimizing capital costs, enabling businesses to compete more effectively.

    • What are cloud computing benefits for IT departments?

    • Cloud computing frees IT teams from the need to continuously install, manage and upgrade new computing resources. Cloud services can be provisioned far more rapidly than on-premises infrastructure, and cloud resources can deliver superior performance and reliability, allowing IT teams to better serve the needs of the business.

    • What is multi-cloud computing?

    • Multi-cloud computing is a cloud architecture that uses multiple public cloud solutions. Some multi-cloud deployments also include private cloud infrastructure. A multi-cloud architecture enables IT teams to choose the most suitable cloud resources for each application and workload, though individual cloud platforms remain unconnected.

    • What is cloud computing in hybrid environments?

    • Like multi-cloud computing, a hybrid cloud infrastructure uses multiple cloud platforms but includes at least one public and one private cloud solution. A hybrid cloud also includes technology that connects the platforms for easier application and data portability, providing a common set of tools that simplifies management across all public, private and edge cloud resources.

    • What are different types of cloud computing?

    • The major types of cloud computing include:
      • Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions that provide access to infrastructure such as servers, virtual machines, storage, networks and operating systems on a pay-as-you-go basis.
      • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions that provide an on-demand environment for developing and testing software, web and mobile applications.
      • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions that provide users with-on-demand access to a software application, typically using a web browser.
