Cloud Computing
  1. Disadvantages
    1. Possible down time
      1. Cloud computing makes your small business dependent on the reliability of your Internet connection. When it's offline, you're offline. And even the most reliable cloud computing service providers suffer server outages now and again.
      2. Security issues
        1. Cloud computing means Internet computing. So you should not be using cloud computing applications that involve using or storing data that you are not comfortable having on the Internet. That being said, established, reliable cloud computing vendors will have the latest, most sophisticated data security systems possible as they want your business and realize that data security is a big concern.
        2. Cost
          1. cloud computing application may appear to be a lot cheaper than a particular software solution installed and run in-house, but you need to be sure you're comparing apples and apples.
          2. Inflexability
            1. You can't insert a document created in another application into a Google Docs spreadsheet, for instance.
          3. Using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.
            1. Advantages
              1. Flexability
                1. The second a company needs more bandwidth than usual, a cloud-based service can instantly meet the demand because of the vast capacity of the service’s remote servers.
                2. Disaster recovery
                  1. When companies start relying on cloud-based services, they no longer need complex disaster recovery plans. Cloud computing providers take care of most issues, and they do it faster.
                  2. Automatic software updates
                    1. cloud computing suppliers do the server maintenance – including security updates –themselves, freeing up their customers’ time and resources for other tasks.
                    2. Work from anywhere
                      1. As long as employees have internet access, they can work from anywhere. This flexibility positively affects knowledge workers' work-life blanace and productivity.
                    3. Examples of websites
                      1. Icloud
                        1. Itunes
                          1. App store
                          2. Drop Box
                            1. Sky Drive
