Business has already come to understand the convenience of cloud technology and actively use them in practice. This is primarily due to the possibility of reducing the initial and running costs on IT infrastructure of enterprises, whose profile does not imply large-scale investments in IT. Also, clouds help to respond faster to market changes and accelerate the process of launching a new product using the already available outsourced computing power.

The main user of cloud technology is fast-growing small and medium-sized businesses. Leading positions are taken by the wholesale and retail trade enterprises, which do not have the ability to develop a large-scale IT infrastructure. Many companies come to the use of private clouds to reduce costs for the use and development of existing IT infrastructure. The banking system still uses its own data centers based on privacy and data security concerns.

Innovative clouds

The benefits of cloud computing are driving the development of cloud technology. Ensuring privacy, security and data integrity, expanding capabilities, scalability of computing, providing a comprehensive service – all these needs are driving leading IT experts to expand the functionality of clouds and develop new cloud technologies.

Today there are several new types of platforms, innovative cloud technologies are designed to provide the most profitable and reliable service to the end consumer.

BPaaS – a business platform as a service – is a fully ready IT infrastructure, which includes a set of all the necessary tools for any business. Such a platform is supplied with all necessary components and is managed by a provider. Employees of the customer work either from a browser or from a remote desktop located on a cloud server.

DaaS – a remote desktop – a fully prepared workplace on the service provider’s server.

SecaaS – security as a service – is designed to address a major aspect for many users – data security in the cloud. Threat software protection, authentication, intrusion detection are all provided at a level that most subscribers can’t achieve in their own data center. Plus reduced data protection costs.

BaaS – backup as a service – is especially relevant for application developers who want to deal with the client side rather than rewriting program codes every time. In a BaaS cloud, the provider takes care of the server part of the work, and the client has to deal with the “stuffing” (this is what the end user needs, which means that you will spend your time in a useful way for your creation).

DRaaS – infrastructure recovery as a service – this platform is useful not only for owners of IT infrastructure, but also for providers. Any equipment can fail due to technical problems or natural disasters. DaaS cloud, without a backup data center at the enterprise, can help restore data.

CCaaS – Contact Center as a Service – creating an operator workstation on any device connected to the Internet. Cloud storage of negotiation records, speech analytics, automatic dialing, etc. – all this is provided by the provider. The service can be used both permanently and when some temporary expansion of an existing call center is needed.

Cloud prospects

To summarize, it can be said – modern cloud technologies lead to expansion of business opportunities. Large investment projects associated with the development of cloud computing expect global profits. For good reason, because the foundation of business is profitability, which grows with the use of clouds. They help companies get far ahead of the curve, leaving competitors in a weak position. In today’s entrepreneurship, speed of reaction to market changes is especially important, so innovative technologies will always be at the top of the demand.
