Benefits Of Cloud Computing for Business

- The costs of “sas cloud computing” are much more flexible than traditional methods.
- Companies only need to commission and thus only pay for server and infrastructure capacity as and when it is needed.

- Traditional computing requires buying capacity sufficient for peak times and allowing it to sit idle the rest of the time.
