Advantages of Cloud Computing

Review on Advantages of Cloud Computing

Advantages of Cloud Computing
When it comes to cloud computing, there are various advantages. Before getting into the advantages of cloud computing, it is best to define what cloud computing is. Cloud computing is basically computing, but everything is pretty much on the internet. Cloud computing can range from checking your bank account to using social media. It also includes platforms such as Google Cloud and Microsoft Cloud.

Some of the advantages of cloud computing that I will discuss are, Flexibility, Security, Cost Efficient, and Storage Capabilities.

Flexibility is one of the major advantages of cloud computing because you have the opportunity to work on your projects anywhere you go. For example, you can work from home, then go to work and remain working on your project at work.

Security is an important advantage because life can happen at any time. For instance, let’s you are doing work on your laptop and the only means of saving it is your flash drive. If you lose your flash drive, then all work is lost and your flash drive could have sensitive data that only you are supposed to see. If you work through a cloud, you don’t have to worry about your flash drive, or laptop in this case, from being stolen or lost. All information is on the cloud and the only ones who can access it are the ones with your information.
Cloud computing is also cost friendly because you don’t have to invest tons of money into keeping it updated, or having to continue to purchase software licenses. You also don’t have to worry about paying for extra levels of security because the cloud drive is already protected by their own security.

The last advantage that I will discuss about cloud drives is the amount of storage available. When using cloud platforms and cloud computing, you pretty much have unlimited storage space, and you don’t have to worry about running out of memory. Most people who rely of cloud computing have a lot of software, documents, etc. that they will be running, and those items take up a lot of space, but if you are running them through cloud computing, you don’t have to worry about that since the space is pretty much unlimited.
As I mentioned earlier, the advantages I named are only a few, but there are many more advantages to cloud computing. Do some research and find out the various forms of cloud computing and find which is best for you.
