Making cloud computing less cloudy
You want your resort to be as efficient and profitable as possible.
You know that you will need software to do this and that means business applications. But these can be very expensive and complex requiring an in-house data centre with licenses, servers, storage, networking equipment and IT staff.
And you pay for this upfront and then you pay again for upgrades as they are released plus more backup, security systems, extra storage, new staff….
This is the traditional way of running a business. Technology, however, has moved on. With the advent of cheap broadband it became clear that businesses don’t need in-house data centres. They also don’t need to be near the computer running the application as only a fast Internet connection is needed between them.
The result of this is the development of cloud computing and software as a service. And it changes everything.
