The term public cloud is often misleading and creates the image of free access to all information stored in the cloud. In fact, the term public cloud simply indicates the resources of the servers are shared by the tenants using the cloud, with each tenant having a secure, safe, and scalable environment.
When considering the choice between public, private, hybrid, or even multicloud environments, knowing the advantages of each is important. For any business, the following benefits of using a public cloud make migration to the cloud an important business consideration.
- Better security – there are multiple layers of security in the cloud. In addition, the data centers where the servers are physically located are extremely secure, adding a level of protection not available with an in-house server room.
- Managed services – in the public cloud platform, the data center maintains the servers, eliminating the need for a large in-house IT team. This not only helps reduce the cost but it also ensures the equipment is continually monitored for increased uptime.
- Extremely scalable and flexible – for most companies, the public cloud offers the scalability and flexibility they need to be responsive in their market. This also means having the ability to expand computing resources or data storage needs quickly.
- Services for backup and data recovery – public cloud providers offer a variety of services in addition to cloud hosting. Disaster recovery and backup can be done automatically, ensuring the business can quickly recover in the event of system failure or problem.
In addition, the public cloud solution is very reasonably priced. This makes it attractive for both established larger companies, smaller businesses, and startups.
