Even the hosting services exists from many years, Grid computing and HPC(High performance Computing) has changed face of the cloud computing and the way business applications are created and run.  The major layers in the cloud computing are IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service). 

Pay-as-you-go model for SME’S.

Always building and managing in-house infrastructure and platform has always been complex, expensive, and risky and also the total cost for evaluating, buying, configuring and managing all the hardware and software required for business application is very high.

The cloud computing or PaaS and pay-as-you-go model can add up greater ROI, reduce deployment cycles, better in-house software alternative, pay based on usage and CAPEX becomes OPEX as high up-front investments are spread out.

Benefits

  • Low Hardware cost.
  • Low Software licensing cost.
  • Low Facilities cost.
  • Low Managing Services cost.
  • Low development cost.
  • Simplified Deployment.
  • High availability at low cost.
  • Zero up-gradation cost.


As SME's are small and medium enterprises, the major advantage of cloud computing or PaaS for SME's is that someone else is responsible for making your apps secure, constantly available, and accessible in the event of a disaster.
