Felhszolgáltató

Felhszolgáltató is a Hungarian term that translates to "cloud service provider" in English. It refers to a company that offers cloud computing services, such as computing power, storage, and networking, to individuals or organizations. These services are typically delivered over the internet and allow users to access and utilize resources without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure themselves.

Cloud service providers operate vast data centers filled with servers, storage devices, and networking equipment. They virtualize these resources, allowing them to be allocated and managed as services. Users can then rent these services on demand, often paying only for what they use. This model offers flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency compared to traditional on-premises IT solutions.

The services offered by felhszolgáltatók can be broadly categorized into three main types: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides fundamental computing resources, PaaS offers a platform for developing and deploying applications, and SaaS delivers ready-to-use software applications over the internet.

Companies choose to use cloud services from a felhszolgáltató for various reasons, including reduced capital expenditure, enhanced agility, improved disaster recovery capabilities, and access to advanced technologies. Examples of well-known global cloud service providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, though many local Hungarian companies also operate as felhszolgáltatók.
