Manage your It infrastructure in the cloud
Cloud computing is applying high-performance computing, a way to increase capacity without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing billing is an on demand based system, which means you only pay for what you are using, monthly/hourly per server over the internet as it extends your current IT.
It has been a long way, seems short but it has been 10 years since its creation and developing an infrastructure for collaboration vía internet from different devices such as: computers, laptops, smartphones, etc.
Applications, websites, online stores and everything is moving to the cloud. The great change from the traditional Physical Server to a virtual one!
Most enterprises have an IT department, having in there specific people just to have the servers up-to-date, give maintenance, installing the required software, etc. This department needs definitely decrease on number and costs (not on people but systems), you will save a lot of money on changing all your IT department to the cloud.
The flexible shared infrastructure means it works like a utility: You only pay for what you need, which means that if you can afford it, go and create more servers as you need or eliminate them as they are virtual and flexible, feel free to scale up or down since it is so easy.

Migrating is a big step, it considers everything, every change that will be made in order to make the cloud server, website or application to function as its meant to be. Once you have all that done, you are good to go!.
Once you’ve figured out what type of server do you need, the server specifications such as: RAM, CPU, Processors, Bandwith, etc and what services do you need installed that are already implemented in the cloud such as: (RDS for databases, Mail servers, Load balancers, CDN, Monitoring, Storage, etc) if you have anything like this in your physical server set up, will probably need a new installation from the cloud hosting provider. All this counts to be estimated in the billing.
If you are not very familiarized with the migration process it’s not recommended for you to do it all alone, things can result as they were not expected to be, so, remember you can always hire an IT expert who can guide you trough all the process or implement your whole IT department to the cloud.
Here is the Gartner chart which shows AWS as the leader of Cloud computing
( This image shows the leading of Amazon Web Services as in the IT Cloud computing world, it has by far, most of the clients of the Cloud. Vía Gartner)
In the Magic quadrant in reference to the infrastructure as a service in the cloud 2014, Gartner placed Amazon Web Services as leaders of the quadrant and classified them as the most visionaries and capable of execution, leaving some companies behind such as Microsoft, Google, Rackspace, etc.
Think about the implementation of your IT department, about your IT costs reduction, high available and scalable servers as flexible as possible and manage it as your budget is! and easy and customizable Cloud environment for you.
