Britain, and specifically London in England, is one of the busiest economic hubs in the world. Capable of handling business worth billions if not trillions of Sterling Pounds, only the best businesses on a global scale operate there. This makes it a perfect market to test cloud server hosting – the storage of a company’s data on a remote cloud server. The data will then be accessible to the business through a client device which will enable them to get access to the data platform on the cloud. The medium of access would be through an internet connection access.
There are a number of significant reasons why cloud hosting is the perfect product for businesses that operate in this particular market. First, the entire country is an island. This means that land is a limited resource. A cursory check is enough to show that London has some of the highest property prices anywhere in the world. Servers take quite a substantial amount of space. With office space in most buildings being a resource that the company pays for through the nose, there is a need for businesses that operate in this market to handle their data in a space conscious manner. They can use the cloud to store this data and reduce their reliance on in-house physical servers which take up costly space.
Second, cloud hosting allows the businesses in London to protect their data better than they can in a physical storage environment. The modern day business needs to protect crucial business data while still providing easy to use access to its employees in order to facilitate them in performing their jobs. Cloud storage would mean that the company can create authentication and authorization protocols for recognized device access. This would facilitate the needs of the employees without endangering the data itself.
Third, cloud hosting is the easiest way for the company to create a data infrastructure that is an enterprise grade and world class while keeping overall costs low. Data infrastructures are one of the most crucial assets any business has to invest into. They are, however, quite costly to acquire and implement. An easy solution is to lease the services of one that has been built for commercial use. In an economy like Britain’s, every move that allows the business to perform at a world class level while still keeping expenses low, is one that the business must make.

I’m inclined to agree, particularly with your third point. If we play our cards right, the UK can build up a good network of datacentres and connect to them via cloud mechanisms. This is more ecofriendly, not to mention cheaper, then having each business run their own servers.

Cloud hosting to third party sites is modern trend but one thing is if by chance host gets hacked then all your stuff gets to other persons (intruders).
