Cloud Services

On-demand delivery of IT resources over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical data centres and servers, you can access technology services, such as computing power, storage, databases, and networking, on an as-needed basis from a cloud provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Cloud services are delivered in three main categories:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): This provides the basic building blocks of IT infrastructure, such as virtual machines, storage, and networking.

Platform as a Service (PaaS): This offers a platform for developing, testing, and deploying applications without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.

Software as a Service (SaaS): This provides software applications that are hosted and managed by the cloud provider, and users can access them through a web browser or mobile app.

Cloud services offer several benefits to businesses and individuals:

Cloud resources can be easily scaled up or down to meet changing demands, eliminating the need for upfront hardware investments.
Scalability
Cloud services follow a pay-as-you-go model, so you only pay for the resources you use, reducing IT costs.

Cloud-based solutions enable faster deployment of applications and services, allowing for rapid innovation and adaptation to market changes.
Agility
Cloud providers maintain redundant infrastructure and offer high uptime guarantees, ensuring business continuity.
Reliability
