Before we look at the benefits of using a private cloud infrastructure, let’s first define cloud computing. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) says it’s “a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable resources, such as networks, servers, storage, applications and services. These resources can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”
In today’s ever-changing world, there is nothing more important for a business than the ability to be flexible and fast. Being able to quickly act on big ideas, tackle problems or adjust to changes is what gives businesses a competitive edge. Technology is what supports these rapid business moves and ensures they’re executed flawlessly.
