Description

Cloud Computing in Power - Thematic Intelligence

Summary

Cloud computing refers to computing delivered as an online service. It encompasses the provision of IT infrastructure, operating systems, middleware, and applications hosted within a data center and accessed by the end-user via the internet. The cloud is now the dominant model for delivering and maintaining enterprise IT resources. In the power sector, there is widespread use of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) model, and managed cloud services. However with volatile geopolitical events, a prevailing energy crisis, an aging workforce, and pressure to speed up the energy transition and meet the demand for a decentralized power grid, continued digitalization is the only option for the power sector. Power companies already benefiting from the inherent advantages of the cloud (its flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness) must also embrace more innovative uses of the cloud and its capacity to enable other emerging technologies. According to GlobalData forecasts, the global cloud computing industry, worth $473 billion in 2020, will be worth $1.2 trillion by 2026.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
