Why use cloud computing for web applications?

September 9th, 2009 Comments off

Website traffic fluctuates. Time of day, seasonality, promotions, popularity, and flash crowds can all drive peak volumes. While you can anticipate and plan for some of this volume, few of us guess right all the time.

To complicate matters, your visitors expect steady, fast performance regardless of the traffic your site receives. Building your own infrastructure to handle peak traffic requires capital investment and facilities space – and no matter how big you build it, it still may not be enough. Having to choose between overspending or under-provisioning is a classic dilemma.

But by deploying your web application in the cloud, you can avoid this dilemma. You can eliminate the upfront fixed investment, and still gain access to compute resources to meet peak loads with on demand scalability, while still paying only for the compute time you actually use.

With Engine Networks vCloud, you can deploy your entire web application infrastructure in the cloud – whether you’re developing an entirely new service or enhancing an existing one. Your developers can provision multiple production-scale systems on demand in the cloud – saving time and expense over traditional testing scenarios and enabling faster handoff from development to operations. And if you’re starting a new line of business, you can launch on the web with a robust, state-of-the-art infrastructure without tying up limited capital.
