Cloud Computing Training

Cloud computing is computing in which large groups of remote servers are networked to allow centralised data storage and online access to computer services or resources. Clouds can be classified as public, private or hybrid.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.


Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users.

 

Today, the Cloud plays an important and increasing prominent role in modern computer networks. It is responsible for many technologies and services that we use in our everyday lives. Without the cloud, our phones and emails would not work. From internet security to plane navigation, removing the cloud they would become unrecognisable. The Cloud is considered to be at the forefront of cutting edge technology, and as such the talents and expertise for Cloud Computing required from businesses, corporations and government institutions are in very high demand and is expected to remain so well into the turn of the next decade.

 

To become a Cloud Computing Professional, there is no better place to start for beginners or veteran computer users alike. Open IT is privileged to offer a Cloud Computing course programme that will enable individuals to pursue new IT career goals and innovation that cloud technologies has in abundance to offer.
