-
Cloud computing delivers computing services like storage, processing, and applications over the internet, allowing businesses to access and manage resources on demand without physical infrastructure.
-
Cloud platforms provide scalability, cost savings, remote access, improved collaboration, and enhanced data security, helping businesses to operate more efficiently and effectively.
-
The main types of cloud services are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
-
5G is the fifth generation of mobile network technology, offering faster speeds, lower latency, and higher capacity compared to 4G, enabling more connected devices and advanced applications.
-
Fibre optic broadband uses fibre optic cables to transmit data as light signals, providing ultra-fast internet speeds and higher bandwidth compared to traditional copper cables.
-
Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) uses software to manage WAN connections, offering improved performance, reduced costs, centralised management, and enhanced security for connecting multiple locations.
-
SD-WAN provides greater flexibility, automation, and optimisation compared to traditional WAN, which relies on fixed hardware and can be more expensive and complex to manage.
-
Cloud platforms implement robust security measures, including encryption, firewalls, and regular updates, to protect data from breaches and cyber threats.
-
Use strong passwords, enable encryption, regularly update software, implement firewalls, and use security protocols like WPA3 for Wi-Fi networks to ensure network security.
-
Use high-quality hardware, regularly maintain your network, implement redundancy (e.g., backup internet connections), and use technologies like SD-WAN to enhance network reliability.
