cloud computing - flexibility
The cloud computing model is based on a utility service model, like
electricity consumption, where you only pay for what you use.
It can be used to handle very small or large processing tasks. If your
organisation needs 5 servers one day and 5000 the next, the cloud can
handle such dynamic requests.
If you are a startup company, and your business is expanding you can
easily acquire more computing power when you need it.
If your company is a seasonal business where you need a surge of
computing power to handle the temporary workload, you can scale-up
and scale-down immediately depending on demand.
