BENEFITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING
There are various benefits of using cloud computing.
It gives huge storage space to the users to store their data, and system storage can be freed.
The work can be done from anywhere, at anytime, using any computer.
It allows you to work with real-time collaboration.
The data can be centralised for processing and storage.
CHARACTERISTICS OF CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud Computing has become very popular these days due to certain characteristics it has. Let
us discuss some of the characteristics of Cloud Computing one by one.
Self-Service: Users can set up and manage cloud resources independently, without needing
external help.
Resource Pooling: Cloud services efficiently share computing resources among multiple
users, optimising overall use.
Manage Access: Cloud services provide detailed control over which users can access specific
resources and data.
Service Monitoring: Constant monitoring guarantees the reliability of cloud services and the
prompt detection of performance issues.
Flexible Scaling: Users can easily adjust the number of resources based on current needs,
scaling up or down as required.
Usage Tracking: Cloud services automatically track and report resource usage and costs,
making it easy to manage and understand expenses.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud Computing is very useful as it provides storage space to the users over a network to share,
create, edit and organise their data. Let us discuss some of its advantages.
Cost: The cloud computing is cost effective as the user is not required to spend money on
buying hardware, software and resources.
Speed: Cloud computing provides quick access to data and resources via the Internet, often
within seconds.
Increased Productivity: By eliminating the need to set up hardware and software, cloud
computing makes work processes more efficient and boosts productivity.
Reliability: Cloud computing ensures reliable data access and provides backup and recovery
options to protect against data loss.
Quick Setup: Cloud services can be started and used quickly, without the long wait usually
needed for setting up physical equipment.
Advanced Security: Cloud providers offer strong security measures, often better than what
individual companies could afford, to protect data and applications.
