Advantages Of Cloud Computing:-
Low Cost: To run cloud technology, users don’t require high power computer & technology as because the application will run on the cloud and not on users’ PC.
Storage capacity: The Cloud storage capacity is unlimited & generally offers a huge storage capacity of 2000-3000 GBs or more based on the requirement.
Low cost of IT infrastructure: As discussed earlier, the investment will be less if an organization uses Cloud technology; even the IT staffs and server engineers are also not required.
Increase computing power: Cloud servers have a very high-capacity of running and processing tasks as well as the processing of applications.
Reduce Software Costs: Cloud minimizes the software costs as users don’t need to purchase software for organizations or every computer.
Updating: Instant software update is possible & users don’t have to face the choice problem between obsolete & high-upgrade software.
Disadvantages Of Cloud Computing:-
Internet speed: Cloud technology requires high-speed internet connection as web-based applications often require large bandwidth amount.
Constant Internet Connection: Its impossible to use cloud infrastructure without the internet. To access any application or cloud storage, a constant internet connection is required.
Security: Data storage might not be secure. With cloud computing, all the data gets stored in the cloud & hence unauthorized user may gain access to user’s data in the cloud.
