The Pros of Cloud Computing: 1. Cost reduction - Cloud computing reduces paperwork, lowers transaction costs, and minimizes the invest in hardware. 2. It’s scalable - Like electricity and water, some cloud computing services allow businesses to only pay for what they use.

Levels the playing field - Cloud computing providers offers small and mid-size businesses access to more sophisticated technology at lower prices. 4. Easier collaboration - Since services in the cloud can be accessed anytime from any computer, it’s easy to collaborate with employees in distant locations. The Cons of Cloud Computing: 1. Availability - Will your cloud service go down unexpectedly, leaving you without important information for hours or more? 2. Data mobility and ownership - Once you decide to stop the cloud service, can you get all your data back? How can you be certain that the service provider will destroy your data once you’ve canceled the service? 3. Privacy - How much data are cloud companies collecting and how might that information be used? |
