It\u2019s a tech company\u2019s job to bring technology, products or services to the market, whether it be an improvement on older technology or by providing something totally new to the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, there are many cloud services out there today – all of which are available to everyone with a computer and the internet – that can support you. In fact, they can even make your journey to success easier than ever before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any startup can benefit from using cloud<\/a> services (also known as cloud computing). Tech startups, in particular, can use the cloud to make quick decisions, trial new apps and technology without too much commitment, remain nimble and of course, share resources – which tend to speed up the entire growth process. These are all crucial elements to any successful tech company.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n How is cloud computing changing business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The cloud is changing the way that businesses and their customers are operating online, and truthfully, the benefits are endless. We are no longer being held back by things like insufficient storage or a lack of coding knowledge, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The cloud also allows for more flexibility, allowing you to access your software, data and other resources from anywhere in the world, rather than being bound to a physical location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cloud services are a cost effective way to stay ahead of the game, improve your customers products and services, and make use of industry leading security and software – all conveniently located at your fingertips. This can be especially beneficial for cash-strapped startups, looking to minimise financial risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What are the different types of services offered in the cloud?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, there are three main types of cloud services available to companies, as well as individuals. They are SaaS<\/strong> (software as a service), PaaS<\/strong> (platform as a service) and IaaS<\/strong> (infrastructure as a service). Simply put, SaaS is designed for using<\/strong>, PaaS is for building<\/strong> and IaaS is for moving<\/strong> or migrating<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Each one of these services comes with its own potential for success. Therefore, it\u2019s really important to understand each of them well in order to choose the correct service\/s to fulfil your unique wants and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SaaS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of these three service categories, SaaS <\/strong>is the most common. This is because it\u2019s a form of cloud computing that most end-users use, naturally, without even thinking twice. A few examples of commonly used SaaS providers would be Gmail, Dropbox and Google Apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SaaS allows the end-users to use the provider\u2019s application over a cloud infrastructure, like Google, or a program interface. The consumer usually has no control over the underlying cloud infrastructure, other than the possibility of a few basic configuration settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PaaS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PaaS is a form of cloud service which is made up of a programming language execution environment, an operating system, a web-server and a database. A good example of a PaaS environment would be Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When using PaaS, the user does not have to worry about the underlying cloud infrastructure. Instead, they can build, compile and run their software or applications using the PaaS provided. A huge benefit of using PaaS is how easy it is to develop and run applications, without having to install or purchase the software which would usually be required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
