Public Cloud Hosting

• WHO

Who takes advantage of Public Cloud offerings?

Plenty of companies do, all over the world. Depending on the specific option, startups or small to medium sized businesses are oftentimes the ones that can really benefit from the reduce costs involved. But with companies like Microsoft and Amazon offering their own Public Cloud options, it’s not rare for large companies to choose the resources available through a Public Cloud.

• WHAT

What is the Public Cloud?

When it comes to cloud technology, there are basically two types: public and private cloud hosts. Both have their own benefits. When it comes to Public Cloud options, many companies choose them because they are generally less expensive. After all, the provider covers the costs for bandwidth, application, and necessary hardware. This also eliminates virtually all of the setup costs.

A Public Cloud, however, is nothing more than a cloud network wherein the owner makes all the applications or storage on it available to the public. Sometimes a small fee is assessed.

• WHERE

Where can you find Public Cloud providers?

Literally, anywhere in the world. Being that it’s a cloud network, all your options are virtual. So, whether you operate out of a major US city or somewhere abroad, you can find a provider that will work for you. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are just a few of the examples of industry leaders that have Public Cloud offerings available to the market.

• WHEN

When should a company consider using a public cloud option?

There are many times when it makes sense for a company to take advantage of using a Public Cloud offering.

For example, if a company is looking to bring one of its offerings to market quickly, it may choose to save time and money by picking a Public Cloud option. Likewise, its market may have less regulatory demands, allowing it to work with Public Cloud options that are for more general use. A company that wishes to outsource IT jobs may also decide it best to use a public cloud option to take advantage of service options and storage.

• WHY

Why do companies choose Public Cloud options?

There are many reasons, but most revolve around the money. As we already covered, the provider always pays for the relevant costs. At most, the companies that use it might have to pay a very small subscription fee on a month-to-month basis.

But Public Cloud options tend to be far more scalable, too. So companies of all sizes can make their offerings work for them. Of course, if they grow, shrink, or simply alter one of their markets, public cloud offerings can transition with them.

Lastly, because companies only pay for what they use on the Public Cloud, they’re not at risk of wasting any money. Because of the service’s scalability, none of their other resources are likely to be wasted, either.
