Cloud Computing

1. Advantages

   • You only pay for the storage you use. You don't need to upgrade to get more storage, as it's not stored on your computer.
   • You can work on your documents 24/7, as long as there is internet connection.
   • Everyone can work on the document at the same time, and can see what you type.

2. Disadvantages

   • It's reliable on having internet connection.
   • You can't control the security of what you store on the cloud, as it is stored on the host's servers.
   • The host may not have the most up to date software.
   • It could have a lower performance, as the software could be stored in another country.

3. Types

   • Software As A Service - SAAS. This is the software that you use from the host's server.
