Cloud based data management is a service model in which data is maintained, managed and backed up remotely and made available to users over a network, typically the internet. The cloud allows users to access their files from anywhere.
Many people have switched to the cloud for its numerous benefits. Listed below are 6 benefits to using cloud based document management services.
Cloud Based Document Management
Elasticity
- Elasticity is the ability to “add and subtract nodes (defined as actual physical machines or virtual machines) when the underlying application and business demands it.”
Scalability
- The ability to scale also means that large volumes of data are processed in the same amount of time that small volumes of data are, and response times laid out in Service Level Agreements can be met, even when demand fluctuates.
High Availability
- Cloud databases have high availability because they can use other cloud provider’s infrastructure that is designed to provide easy data distribution and redundancy.
Support for all Datatypes
- Cloud-based databases offer flexible and dynamic schema that accepts all key data formats including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured.
Easier Manageability
- Tools for carrying out routine administrative operations are provided by the vendor. Usually these tools are accessed via a web browser.
Lower Cost
- The elasticity and scalability of cloud databases is what makes them less costly because the pricing model for cloud computing is pay-as-you-go.
- DataStax advises “When looking to implement a database in the cloud, IT professionals should seek a cost structure that is friendly to scaling out horizontally, regardless of machine size or the data volume being managed.”
