Cloud Computing

Cloud computing: is now evolving like never before, with companies of all shapes and sizes adapting to this new technology. Industry experts believe that this trend will only continue to grow and develop even further in the coming few years.

DISADVANTAGE
- DISADVANTAGE
- Technical Issues
- Security in the Cloud
- Prone to Attack
- Incompatibility
- Dependency and vendor lock-in
  - One of the major disadvantages of cloud computing is the implicit dependency on the provider. This is what the industry calls “vendor lock-in” since it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to migrate from a provider once you have rolled with him. If a user wishes to switch to some other provider, then it can be really painful and cumbersome to transfer huge data from the old provider to the new one. This is another reason why you should carefully and thoroughly contemplate all options when picking a vendor.
- Limited control and flexibility
ADVANTAGES
- Cost Efficient
- Almost Unlimited Storage
- Backup and Recovery much simpler
- Automatic Software Integration
- Easy Access to Information
- Quick Deployment
- Cloud is environmentally friendly
  - The cloud is in general more efficient than the typical IT infrastructure and It takes fewer resources to compute, thus saving energy. For example, when servers are not used, the infrastructure normally scales down, freeing up resources and consuming less power. At any moment, only the resources that are truly needed are consumed by the system.
In Conclusion: cloud computing too has its pros and cons. While the technology can prove to be a great asset to your company, it could also cause harm if not understood and used properly.
