Abstract

In this paper we study the role of cloud tools in the field developing of modern information systems.ессе We analyze the advantages provided by cloud technologies in comparison with traditional ones and highlights their increasing relevance in terms digital transformation. Cloud computing is discussed as a new approach of providing resources (including computing resource, storage and software service) over the internet. The paper elaborates the core service models as IaaS, PaaS and SaaS and assesses their practical relevance for enterprises or institutions from different domains. I focus, in particular, on the technological underpinnings of cloud infrastructure such as virtualization, distributed computing and resource pooling. The report outlines the benefits of cloud solutions, including cost control, scalability, flexibility, availability and better security of user data. Cloud solutions facilitate dynamic provisioning of computing capabilities, and they implement a PAYG model to decrease CAPEX and to improve the OPEX efficiency. The study also discusses perceived blockers to the cloud - such as cyber security threats, data privacy and regulations. By means of descripto-analytical and comparison methods that lead one to understand that today, cloud technologies not only ameliorate IT infrastructure, but also play as a strategic devices for innovation and sustainable development. The results support the view that cloud computing is highly influential in enhancing organizational performance and maintaining long term competitiveness in a fast paced digital environment.
