Cloud computing is more agile, cost effective, independent, and multi-tenancy. The agility comes from the fact that cloud computing can be customized almost instantly, and cost effective because you are only paying for what you use without the costly investment into a new network. Since the cloud can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection it is independent from any machine or geographical location, which is great for companies that have representatives that travel a lot.

Multi-tenancy is the fact that information is centralized, network administrators do not need to figure for the highest possible peak usage, instead just adjust as needed through the cloud provider, and keep utilization at its best and avoids having machines that are only using small portions of memory.

Cloud computing is scalable and reliable. Once again, you are paying for what you use. If you need more storage, more power, or more apps to automate processes, all you have to do is ask your provider for those services and pay for them. Most cloud computing companies use multiple locations and redundant sites. This means that your information is safe even during a catastrophe and that your information is much more likely to be restored. All computers and machines experience outages, and being sure that your cloud company uses strategies that make them more reliable.

Most cloud computing companies are secure. These companies are able to invest more into security than most individual corporations, which means that they are able to deploy more security measures. That being said, not all cloud computing companies are created equal and should not be treated as such.

During your search for a virtual server host, be sure to ask about their security measure and understand what that means for you.

Lastly, "the cloud" is easy to maintain. There is not the need to install an application on all the machines in your network, since the apps are available through a browser. Any expansion or reduction of space is done automatically and any upgrades, updates, or changes to an app are instantly delivered via internet to each one.
