SBM4104 IT Infrastructure Assessment 5 Report

Assessment Details:

Cloud services have revolutionised computing. The IaaS, PaaS and SaaS allowed businesses to develop virtualised IT infrastructure and deliver software through the cloud, independent of a user’s operating system. Cloud computing services are scalable, which means you are charged only for the services you use so there’s no need to buy in extra hardware for additional redundancy. Cloud services offer exceptional potential for improving business performance and increasing profits.

You are required to write a report on how a small/medium business can benefit from moving its IT services to Cloud.
