The cloud. Advantages and disadvantages.



 
Nowadays, “the cloud computing” is becoming increasingly popular among internet users worldwide. Broadly speaking, the term cloud means the possibility of store and access data through internet, and also the programs you need. And at first sight, it seems to have exclusively benefits. But if you went in depth, you would realise that there are some disadvantages that should be taken into consideration as well.

 


Talking about the advantages, the most attractive one is the fact that it doesn’t involve a huge cost. In addition, it can be used by lots of people at the same time and wherever they stay. Not only does it offer a wide variety for the customers, but also it is an agile technology that makes easier work with it.


On the other hand, there are several disadvantages. To begin with, there is a general feeling of lack of control for business owners, who can’t do anything to solve the problem when the system goes down. Moreover, this system is not yet plenty of reliability and your privacy could be invaded.

 

Here I show you some links where you can obtain more information about the cloud computing and their positive and negative aspects.


 
And finally, I’d like to say that I find the cloud really useful as I use it for several reasons. For example, I use Dropbox or Googledrive in order to share diverse kind of documents with colleagues, classmates and friends. Besides, I usually do collaborative tasks using Google Docs.
