Cloud computing has gone from a technology limited to big billion-dollar corporations to one that is accessible to anyone. Most developers probably have forgotten about an EC2 instance running an AWS occasionally because, at the end of the day, it might only be 10$ a month to keep a Linux box going. This accessibility provides an opportunity for small and medium-size businesses that want to have access to the same level of technology as larger corporations have for a fraction of the cost. These technologies can help your business scale and take advantage of technologies that used to require multiple system admins and developers to set up. Now all you need to do is access a management console, click a few buttons and you’re there. Alright, it’s not that simple. If it were, then everybody would be doing it. But the first step is knowing what is possible. So the purpose of this article is to cover some basic concepts that you as a business owner should understand so you know what you can do. VPC Private Cloud Let’s start with a very important concept, that is a private cloud or sometimes referred to as a virtual private cloud or VPC. This allows your team the ability to set up a virtual network that is only accessible to team members with the correct authorization set up(sometimes this is set up using AWS Workspace, VPNs, etc). This enables your company to have its network. Read the full article

Cloud computing has become an area of interest for both large and small businesses over the past few years. Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. While the term “cloud computing” may be new, the concept is not. Most small businesses have an office server which has a series of desktop computers networked to it. Conventionally, that hardware is referred to as “the network,” or “the information systems.” With cloud computing, the server still exists – it is just no longer physically located in the office. Instead, the server is located somewhere in a datacenter and usually shared with millions of other users or tenants.  It is accessible through the Internet, or in other words, it lives “in the cloud.” Cloud computing offers a key advantage that its antiquated predecessor was unable to match: accessibility. With cloud computing, your network is accessible anywhere you have Internet access.  Regardless of the physical device being used, cloud computing ensures access to the network.  For example, Google Docs exemplifies cloud computing in action. When you use Google Docs, you can access a single document across multiple devices, accounts and internet connection points.  The era of being tethered to a work computer is over.
