Alphanumeric Group Inc. is one such partner… identifying and recruiting necessary talent to implement your Cloud transformation.

We are here to help recruit the talent who will help people and businesses accelerate their migration to the cloud – one that requires speed, new thinking, and an entirely different level of skills and investments to achieve end-to-end digital transformation. The proper talent and skills, now more than ever, are vital to helping businesses reopen, reinvent, and outmaneuver uncertainty.

What is cloud computing?

Cloud is a model of computing where servers, networks, storage, development tools, and even applications (apps) are enabled through the internet. Instead of organizations having to make major investments to buy equipment, train staff, and provide ongoing maintenance, some or all of these needs are handled by a cloud service provider.

There are five key characteristics of a cloud computing environment, as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST):

Internet Access
With a public cloud environment, users “plug into” the data and applications via an internet connection giving anytime, anywhere access.
Measured Service
Cloud is often pay-as-you-go, where you only pay for what you use. Think about how a utility company meters how much water, electricity, or gas is used and charges based on consumption. The cloud is the same.
On-Demand Self-Service
Services can be requested and provisioned quickly, without the need for manual setup and configuration.
Shared Resource Pooling
Cloud often uses the multi-tenancy model. This means a single application is shared among several users. So, rather than creating a copy of the application for each user, several users, or “tenants” can configure the application to their specific needs.
Rapid Elasticity
Cloud platforms are elastic. An organization can scale its resource usage levels up or down quickly and easily as needs change.

Why is cloud computing important?

Before cloud computing, companies had to store all their data and software on their own hard drives and servers. The bigger the company, the more storage they needed. This way of treating data is not scalable at speed.

Cloud technology means that companies can scale and adapt at speed and scale, accelerate innovation, drive business agility, streamline operations, and reduce costs. Not only can this help propel companies through the current crisis, it can lead to increased, sustainable growth.

What are the types of cloud computing?

Cloud computing can be deployed in different ways depending on what services a business needs. The first thing to consider is the deployment model: public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud. The next element is the service category:

Saas (Software as a Service)
Paas (Platform as a Service)
Iaas (Infrastructure as a service)

When a company is considering its cloud migration strategy, it must consider both factors. Here’s a primer on how they work and what they mean for your business.
