Eight reasons why cloud computing is more suitable for small companies

April 9 News, according to foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> Media reports, Cloud computing for a variety of enterprises to bring business cost reduction, The advantages of cloud computing are especially evident for small companies that have just been established. But there is also the opposite view that cloud computing is only significant in large companies.

On the one hand, the economic benefits of cloud computing in the original budget is not much of the small companies clearly show no advantage, on the other hand, large companies cloud computing security, integration and other common problems in small companies are not serious. But there are still eight reasons to conclude that small companies are more suited to using cloud computing.

1. Economies of scale: the scale effectiveness of large companies is clear, small companies usually have limited resources, and any programme that can save the procurement budget should be given priority.

2. Enterprise-Class functions: Large companies usually have the strength on-demand development functions, small companies rarely have this ability. But with the help of cloud computing, small companies can also develop, maintain, and upgrade as needed.

3. Cost: Small firms are often short of capital when they are built, and cloud computing, by volume, usually does not require much upfront input. Even if the monthly pay is not the first choice to save, but the reduction of capital pressure is the inevitable choice to avoid failure.

4. Equipment and applications: For large companies, cloud computing means integrating a complex infrastructure, a service system (IaaS) installation, into a company's existing system. For small companies, cloud computing is a thorough "cloud" of software that is a service (SaaS) application or application suite, and therefore has a low demand for it.

5. Compatibility: Most large companies opposed to cloud computing are concerned about the compatibility of cloud computing with legacy systems and programs. Small companies, especially the newly established companies, rarely need to worry about this. Further, the new company does not have the old equipment to abandon, and then to the cloud computing arms, and the money to buy the original rental equipment is extremely uneconomical.

6. Security issues: Not that security is not important for small companies, although enterprise-class security in the cloud is not impregnable, but the security capabilities of cloud computing are still much higher than the standards that small companies themselves can achieve.

7. Legal affairs: Although there is no need to worry about the physical storage location of cloud computing data, the IaaS type system still involves problems with the local, host and international legal aspects, especially for large multinationals, but small companies that use cloud computing are rarely bothered.

8. Reliability: Cloud computing is more reliable than most people predict. When a cloud service is widely used, it must be big news if it fails. But no matter how big or small a private company is, it is usually unknown. If occasional network outages are tolerated, cloud computing provides far more reliability than most small companies have built their own systems.

Cloud computing seems inherently designed for small and medium-sized companies, and is almost the best way to reach an enterprise-level it level without having to develop it yourself or pay a large price for it. Although the technology is fledgling, the choice of cloud computing is not a smart move from the standpoint of building a new company. (Jo Jiang)
