Why Automotive Businesses Should Choose the Cloud

Cloud computing is a popular subject these days, as many businesses are transitioning their data to “the cloud”. But what exactly is it, and how can it benefit your automotive business?

There are three types of “clouds” in regards to cloud computing. The first is the public cloud. These are the least expensive option, and provide companies with a wide range of applications and programs they can use without having to purchase the individual software needed. As technology is always changing, hiring an outsourced team to provide your with public cloud services is cost efficient because you don’t have to worry about always updating your programs. The downside of public cloud is the lack of privacy, which brings us to the next cloud type.

Private clouds are usually the most expensive solution; however provide companies with high-security features to protect their sensitive data. With a private cloud, businesses have to purchase the programs and software, however having your information on the private cloud ensures that should any technical disasters occur, you have a backup.
Last is the hybrid cloud solution. As you may have gathered from the name, this type is a combination of the public and private clouds. The price varies on what your automotive business needs, however the convenience of choosing which applications are private and which can be public is preferable for most businesses.
