Key benefit of cloud computing is the scalable and elastic platform it provides. It dynamically scales up and down, offering you quick response times and the flexibility to automatically handle fluctuations in demand. It supports multi-tenancy, so one system can be shared by many customers and this cost saving is passed on in the OPEX cost model Saa. S Paa. S Iaa. S
