Historically, businesses have relied on their internal networks to support their information technology needs. However, with options like Amazon Web Services now available, there are a few benefits that your organization can enjoy from migrating over to the cloud. Let’s discuss what these benefits are.
First, let’s go over what Amazon Web Services (AWS)—and cloud computing in general—is.
As the largest cloud computing service in the world, AWS provides businesses with a comprehensive assortment of services that enable them to embrace a variety of capabilities. A cloud service platform, AWS delivers cloud storage, Internet of Things (IoT) processing, identity management, database management, and a ton of other functions.
AWS is trusted by a variety of hugely recognizable organizations, including Facebook, Adobe, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), holding a 47.8% market share of the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) market and 25.2% of the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) market.
Cloud solutions, speaking generally, empower a business to accomplish a lot more. AWS in particular offers a few choice capabilities for organizations to take advantage of:
With AWS offering a completely customizable option for businesses, its flexibility assists these businesses in optimizing their costs. By their nature, cloud services allow for a business to precisely shape their use of them to meet their precise needs. Not only are they precisely scalable, AWS services can be used for effectively any purpose. In this way, your investment can be tailored to your needs and budget.
A lot of people may be concerned about cloud services, simply because they fear the idea of losing control over their data—or their access to it. With the very notable exception of one time in 2020, the availability of Amazon Web Services has spoken for itself. Even that lack of service was caused by an issue as the operating system became overloaded for its configuration.
For the vast, vast majority of the time, your cloud resources will be available to you and very much under your control. You will be able to set network policies just as you could with an in-house infrastructure and maintain control over your data just the same.
Cooperation is key to any successful business, so the fact that AWS provides so many tools to enable communication and collaboration makes it pretty obvious how your business could benefit. By nature of cloud-based services, this gives businesses the opportunity to do so from anywhere.
Amazon Web Services also enable a business to prepare for data disasters of any scale. With cloud-based recovery systems available to you and Amazon’s considerable support capabilities behind them, you’ll have access to automatic backup services and recovery processes.
