Analysis of Cloud Computing: Benefits, Digital Access & Cost Factors

This report offers a concise overview of cloud computing, defining it as a paradigm for ubiquitous access to computer resources, applications, and storage. It highlights the benefits of cloud computing, particularly its ability to drive down costs by avoiding unnecessary hardware expenses and upgrades, thereby improving cost efficiency. The report also discusses methods for accessing digital applications, using Skype as an example, and details the cost factors involved in cloud computing, including computing, storing, and networking, which cloud providers consider when setting prices. It references several academic works to support its analysis.

Cloud Computing

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION
• Cloud Computing is considered as a
paradigm of information technology
or a model for starting the ubiquitous
access to various resources of the
computer, its applications and the
storage as well.
• It acts as a platform for storing the
data and information at a single
platform.

BENEFITS OF CLOUD
COMPUTING
• It helps in driving
the costs down by
avoiding
unnecessary
usage of costs on
the hardware and
the upgrades.
• The process can
also make various
improvements in
the cost efficiency.

WAYS OF ACCESSING THE
DIGITAL APPLICATION
• Skype can be accessed on the
Microsoft account
• Skype has finalised a move from
moving away from a peer to peer
system in a cloud based one.

ANY COSTS INVOLVED
• There can be three factors that can
be considered under it and these
involve computing, storing and
networking.
• At the time of fixing the price, the
providers of cloud helps in
determining the expense for
managing and controlling the
network.
