Although it is no longer a new thing in Indonesia, the function and benefits of cloud or cloud computing when pandemic conditions like this are very beneficial for humans in establishing a family and professional relationships, especially in Indonesia. This is shown by the increasing number of internet users during new normal conditions which cause residential internet usage traffic during new normal conditions to be higher compared to offices. Of course, this is in line with the policies recommended by the government to work and study at home or we often hear it in terms of work from home.
For companies and employees who have never implemented WFH, of course, the process will get difficulties such as difficulty getting used to current working conditions, as well as the demands to learn new systems and technologies to support work performance and productivity.
Cloud technology is very helpful in various ways that can be felt. Such as easy access in accessing applications to support work such as zoom, Webex, Google Meet, or Microsoft team, which lately has high popularity as a meeting platform based on virtual or online. All employees can also access the company’s LAN without worry and with a sense of security by using VPN tools. So you can freely access information on the internet more safely such as when browsing, surfing, and other activities.
Advantages of Using Computerized Cloud

You can increase or decrease the scale of resources to increase or decrease capacity instantly according to the changing needs of your business.
- Cost-Effective
The cloud allows you to exchange capital costs (such as data centers and physical servers) with variable costs and only pay for IT according to the amount of usage. Besides, variable costs are much lower than what you have to pay for yourself because of the economies of scale. Such as reducing the risk of frequent and expensive maintenance because there is rarely a problem and you do not need storage media storage on an external hard disk because there is already a centralized storage media on the server. Because all hardware or physical products that use WAN have a reasonable usage period and after the usage period there will usually be some damage and not optimal functioning and frequent errors.

With the cloud, you can expand new geographical areas and apply globally in minutes. For example, with the infrastructure of IIJ GIO around the world including Indonesia, you can implement applications in various physical locations with just a few clicks. Placement of the application near the end-user will reduce latency, so the end-user experience will improve.
