Proponents also claim that cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance, and that it enables IT teams to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable demand, providing the burst computing capability: high computing power at certain periods of peak demand. 5.5 Serverless computing or Function-as-a-Service (FaaS)Īdvocates of public and hybrid clouds note that cloud computing allows companies to avoid or minimize up-front IT infrastructure costs.5.4 Mobile "backend" as a service (MBaaS).
