What Is Cloud Computing and How Does It Benefit The Events Industry?


Cloud Computing is an application that is currently being adopted by the corporate biggies and small business alike, to reduce the hassles of installing software suites. To begin with, let me now unveil the idea of "Cloud". Just in case you are a complete stranger to this web based service, you will be surprised to know the host of advantages this platform offers to its users.

A Cloud service comes with three unique features that distinguish it from the other conventional services. This web based service is solely managed by the provider and is sold on the basis of minute or hourly demand. The application can be private or public. Public Cloud is sold to anyone over the Internet whereas private Cloud is basically a proprietary network or a data centre that offer hosted services to limited users. Besides, there are three types of Cloud; first is the 'Software-as-a-Service' (SaaS) Cloud model, 'Platform-as-a-Service' (PaaS) Cloud model and 'Infrastructure-as-a -service' (IaaS) Cloud model.

However, Cloud computing leads to a considerable shift in workload. For running applications, local computers no longer need to be stuffed with software. Instead, the network that makes up the Cloud handles everything. This system also reduces considerable demand for hardware and software installations and downloads. Besides, it can control everything from e-mail to word processing to complex data analysis programs from a remote location. If you are an e-mail account holder with web-based e-mail services like Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or Gmail then you have definitely experienced Cloud computing unconsciously.

In recent times, various companies have introduced a number of Cloud-based software products for easy management of events. If you are an event organizer and plan to hold your next event in a short while then why don't you opt for one of this software? Let me now give you a quick insight to some of the benefits of Cloud computing that will make this an easier choice for you.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

The web based hosting service gives you easy access from anywhere without any restriction. To use this service you simply need to remember your ID and password. The process is totally automated so if you plan to expand your business there is no need to make any additional hardware purchase or plug in downloads. Besides, Cloud computing provides you with the highest levels of interface and data security thereby reducing data loss and frauds to a large extent. The service also cuts down substantial cost by reducing the need for large computers and thus saving energy.

Cloud computing will give the events industry and its registration and payment system an altogether new dimension. Resort to any of the cloud computing software and ensure a fulfilling and satisfying event hosting experience.
