What is cloud computing

Cloud computing is a new technology that itself can help us do a lot of things. Cloud computing is putting some IT resources where users may not be able to see them, such as where to put the data center, where the servers are, and what users may not know, but they can serve users over the network. If you want to set up a company, the traditional approach is to buy hardware, software, hire IT workers and so on to build the system, the company can operate. Just find the cloud provider, describe clear requirements, and then pay directly for IT services that meet your needs. The traditional investment in fixed assets has become a running cost, which is a big change. It helps businesses save money because they don't need to buy software, they don't have to hire it, they need resources, they find a cloud provider, and how much they pay for it. Cloud computing is the consumption and delivery model of a new IT service that supports the business.

The combination of cloud computing and real estate

In China, the real estate industry is relatively weak. Real estate has several characteristics, one is the location of dispersed, different properties in different places, the company's business may be in different cities; second, real estate bosses want to centralize management, want to quickly grasp the sales information, financial information, customer information, etc. third, the current state of the real estate industry it is generally backward, to apply the United States, Canada and other Western countries of it construction of traditional methods to do, first, investment is big, the second is the construction cycle long,. Through cloud services, through cloud computing, real estate company staff can quickly contact sales information, service information, you can control the company's business in time. Through cloud services, when you need relevant resources, you can go to the cloud, including financial systems, sales systems, and business processes, and you can get the IT services you need through the cloud without having to build everything you want, as in tradition. Cloud computing can help the real estate industry to achieve leapfrog development, can help real estate industry rapid information.

Now see a lot of companies may be thriving, after 10 years, because of cloud computing's sake can not keep up, may be eliminated.
