Features of Cloud Computing – 10


Major Characteristics of Cloud
Computing
BY DATAFLAIR TEAM · PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 25, 2018 · UPDATED MARCH 5, 2019
After studying Cloud Computing Architecture. Here, we come up with
Features of Cloud Computing. The characteristics of cloud computing state its
importance in the market.
So, let’s start exploring Features of Cloud Computing.

Introduction to Cloud Computing


Cloud Computing is getting more and more popularity day by day. The reason
behind is the gradual growth of the companies which are in need of the place to
store their data. Therefore, companies are in competition to provide large space
to store data along with the various features and quality service. It has been
found that Cloud Computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient,
on-demand network access the computing resources. There are many services
and features of cloud computing.

Features of Cloud Computing


Following are the characteristics of Cloud Computing:

1. Resources Pooling
It means that the Cloud provider pulled the computing resources to provide
services to multiple customers with the help of a multi-tenant model. There are
different physical and virtual resources assigned and reassigned which depends
on the demand of the customer. The customer generally has no control or
information over the location of the provided resources but is able to specify
location at a higher level of abstraction
2. On-Demand Self-Service
It is one of the important and valuable features of Cloud Computing as the user
can continuously monitor the server uptime, capabilities, and allotted network
storage. With this feature, the user can also monitor the computing capabilities.

3. Easy Maintenance
The servers are easily maintained and the downtime is very low and even in
some cases, there is no downtime. Cloud Computing comes up with an update
every time by gradually making it better. The updates are more compatible with
the devices and perform faster than older ones along with the bugs which are
fixed.

4. Large Network Access


The user can access the data of the cloud or upload the data to the cloud from
anywhere just with the help of a device and an internet connection. These
capabilities are available all over the network and accessed with the help of
internet.

5. Availability
The capabilities of the Cloud can be modified as per the use and can be
extended a lot. It analyzes the storage usage and allows the user to buy
extra Cloud storage if needed for a very small amount.
6. Automatic System
Cloud computing automatically analyzes the data needed and supports a
metering capability at some level of services. We can monitor, control, and
report the usage. It will provide transparency for the host as well as the
customer.

7. Economical
It is the one-time investment as the company (host) has to buy the storage and a
small part of it can be provided to the many companies which save the host
from monthly or yearly costs. Only the amount which is spent is on the basic
maintenance and a few more expenses which are very less.

8. Security
Cloud Security, is one of the best features of cloud computing. It creates a
snapshot of the data stored so that the data may not get lost even if one of the
servers gets damaged. The data is stored within the storage devices, which
cannot be hacked and utilized by any other person. The storage service is quick
and reliable.
9. Pay as you go
In cloud computing, the user has to pay only for the service or the space they
have utilized. There is no hidden or extra charge which is to be paid. The
service is economical and most of the time some space is allotted for free.

10. Measured Service


Cloud Computing resources used to monitor and the company uses it for
recording. This resource utilization is analyzed by supporting charge-per-use
capabilities. This means that the resource usages which can be either virtual
server instances that are running in the cloud are getting monitored measured
and reported by the service provider. The model pay as you go is variable based
on actual consumption of the manufacturing organization.

Summary
IT is the company who maintains the servers, maintains the crashing of the
server and takes care of it. The company also buys the software and the licenses
for the operation of their business. All these things maintain by the monthly fee
which they are expecting from the firms they are serving. They are so much
focused on providing quality service as if they fail to do so they will be behind
in the competition. This web-based platform can only access through the
internet.

Cloud Computing has numerous amounts of benefits which are helping both
hosts as well as the customer. A host consists of various benefits too which
benefit the customers. There are myriads of security feature which is a positive
point along with it the access time is very low and one can easily upload and
download data quickly. The company nowadays is in great need of the data
storage facility and the Big Data companies provide them very easily.

Hello,
Suppose i open a software company.
I want all my customer to be in cloud.
Who should buy the cloud ?
Is it that i need to buy it for them; because normally you pay as you use.
Thank you
