Computing on demand

More often than not, organisations are faced with varying demands for computing power. If an organisation maintains adequate resources to meet peak requirements, it proves to be very expensive. Conversely, if an organisation maintains minimal computing resources, a crunch arises when the computing demand peaks.

In order to handle this dichotomy, an on-demand model was conceived.

Computing On Demand is a technique of making available computing resources such as computing cycles, storage as a metered service similar to a public utility.

Computing On Demand offers the requisite computational power that is needed at any point in time, on a ‘pay as you go’ basis. The customer will be billed for the resources (like instance-hours or data transfer) actually consumed. Thus, the model has the distinct advantage of low or no capital investment to acquire hardware.

It helps large as well as small organisations. Large organisations can cost effectively handle varying demands while small ones that hither do did not have the capital to acquire huge computing power can now handle unexpected peak demands.
