\"Cloud<\/a><\/p>\n

Cloud based computing and solutions seem to be all the news lately \u2013 it\u2019s what everyone is talking about!<\/p>\n

There is a common perception that if it\u2019s in the Cloud it must be better\u2026maybe, and maybe not.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, there is no black-and-white answer \u2013 it all depends on the needs and the requirements of the organization.<\/p>\n

Many are quick to jump on the Cloud bandwagon, but it is important to consider the differences of the Cloud versus on premises, and what works with your current architecture.<\/p>\n

To understand the differences of cloud computing and on premises, let\u2019s look at somewhat they are about.<\/p>\n

What is on premises software?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sometimes shortened to \u201con prem<\/a>\u201d, this solution is deployed in the traditional manner. Servers are set up, operating systems are installed, and it all takes place within the organization or at the organization\u2019s data center.<\/p>\n

With on prem solutions, they are physical \u2013 you can reach out and touch it. For the most part with on prem, the organization is responsible for maintaining it as the physical host.<\/p>\n

What is cloud computing?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cloud computing is when an organization stores and accesses data, solutions, programs and applications over the internet rather than storing it and accessing it from the computer\u2019s hard drive or a server in the building.<\/p>\n

Cloud computing is a hosted solution where a service provider offers you their data center and facilities. When a provider hosts a solution for you, they are the ones responsible for the offering \u2013 whether it be the data center, security, or networking functions. There are mainly two types of cloud computing models<\/strong><\/a> which are service-based and deployment based.<\/p>\n

Comparison of Cloud vs. On-Premises<\/span><\/h2>\n

Of course, the biggest difference is how each is deployed. Cloud computing is hosted by the vendor and accessed over the Internet, while on-prem is installed locally on a company\u2019s own computers and servers.<\/p>\n

In addition to deployment, cloud and on prem have many more differences:<\/p>\n
