Complicated
The National Institute of Standards and Technology defines Cloud computing as a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services). These resources need to be provisioned rapidly and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.
Made Simple
ATCOM can set up applications and resources using a variety of models. The key is we take the time to learn your business and then make a recommendation that is flexible, quickly deployed and cost effective
