Cloud Computing

The present availability of high-capacity networks, low-cost computers and storage devices as well as the widespread adoption of hardware virtualization, service-oriented architecture, and utility computing have led to a growth in Cloud Computing.

Cloud Computing allows companies accessing to greater and scalable computing power, and latest ICT infrastructure that only needs minimal or no direct management. This will allow them to focus on their important process: CORE BUSINESS. However, the concept of Cloud Computing is rather wide and abstract to most of the ICT practitioners, due to different views to be focused by the stakeholders.

A firm grasp of fundamental concepts in Cloud Computing is important for a fulfilling career in current ICT area, even for those who are not working directly in this industry. Cloud computing saves businesses time and money by boosting productivity, improving collaboration and promoting innovation.

For example, a project manager can utilize scalable cloud resources to minimize the project’s capital expenses. Meanwhile, project members and programmers can utilize cloud productivity tools to increase the efficiency, mobility and flexibility in information/file sharing within a secure environment.
