Cloud computing enables manufacturers to save money on mobile devices

In a technological age where smaller and cheaper is the main goal, manufacturers are looking at cloud technology as a means for achieving these results. Managed cloud services allow manufacturers, including Apple, to store mobile application data online, which in turn could enable the power and processing specifications of the mobile device to be cut down. As the International Business Times reports, this could allow companies to produce and sell mobile devices for much cheaper.

The main task for manufacturers is to best leverage cloud computing architecture against existing infrastructure that is already in place to ensure a seamless transition to the new technology. According to the news source, Apple plans to do this by using its resources in North Carolina as a broadcast center for streaming, cloud-based services. Many other companies in the industry are expected to follow suit with this trend.

Cloud computing architecture is gaining increased notice in the industry, and its application for mobile devices has attracted attention from tech CEOs. Mitch Jones of Centrom has stated his confidence in both the mobile and cloud revolutions.

"In a world of constant connectivity, cloud computing empowers companies and individuals to easily access solutions across your business anytime and anywhere, supported by rigorous, centralized security measures that protect the company’s information and resources,” he said.
