What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing refers to the Cloud computing servers are Cloud computing can enhance
delivery of computing resources located in data centers around operational efficiency, save
over the internet, allowing users the globe. These centers provide costs, provide scalability, and
to access data and applications the infrastructure to store, allow for remote work without
from anywhere on the planet. process, and manage data, and sacrificing productivity or
run applications. security.
Types of Cloud Computing

freeing up resources.
3 Mobility
Cloud computing enables remote and flexible work. Users can access applications
and work from any device with an internet connection, making it easier to conduct
business across time zones and borders.
Disadvantages of Cloud
Computing
1 Stored Data Can
be Lost 2 Dependence on Internet
Theoretically, data stored in the connectivity
cloud is safe, replicated across
multiple machines. But on the off Dependence on Internet
Connectivity
chance that your data goes Cloud computing is highly
missing, you have no physical or dependent on internet
local backup. Put simply, relying on connectivity, which may restrict
access and performance
the cloud puts you at risk if the
cloud lets you down.
Data is not totally safely stored.
3 Can Be Slow
Even with a fast connection, web based applications can sometimes be slower than
accesing a similar software program on your system.Stored data in hardware
sometimes can be accesed quickly than the Cloud Computing.
