On premises 

Advantages

 Without relying on a third party, you will have complete control over your
data, which will most likely include client or customer data.
 Despite the lack of an internet connection, you will be able to access your
internal data in your capacity.
 Because you will be solely accountable for your data, you may be more
aware of the security firewalls or measures you employ, rather than
relying hesitantly on the claims of your third-party service provider's
security measures.
 On-premises software delegates the privileges of customizing, altering,
and configuring particular data within the software to customize it to
their business needs and requirements because you own the software's
license and property rights.
Disadvantages
 On-premises upgrades consist of high upfront costs, which indicates that
purchasing sufficient hardware can be very expensive and difficult to
scale as demand develops.
 On-premise stipulates rack space or a server room/closet on your
premises, along with dedicated IT support.
 Data must be backed up, and application functionality must be
guaranteed. Employees are in charge of installing updates, running among
others, and keeping the apps up to date.
 On-premises entails a huge time taking process to study, justify, order,
and deploy hardware; hence you'll need a well-thought-out plan in
advance for any adjustments, and your IT department will have more
work to do.

Advantages
 In contrast to on-premise storage, data can be stored off-site and backed
up by the cloud services provider. As a result, the cloud can offer safe off-
site data storage. It is critical to create backups of your data and store
them elsewhere so that they may be recovered in the event of a big
disaster.
 Since your cloud storage is managed by your service provider, you don't
have to delegate your IT staff to it, henceforth they don't have to focus on
other tasks such as installing new software patches and updates.
 Your employees can use any computer, smartphone, or tablet, to connect
from anywhere. Therefore, your companies can avail the privilege of
implementing policies such as Bring your own device (BYOD).
 Users can rest easy knowing that if their computer crashes or their local
files are lost, they can recover their data using cloud-based services, so
your company which will be in a position of minimal risk of losing
essential information by having access to the critical data.

Disadvantages
 Its entire performance depends on the internet connection you are using,
as a result, it becomes a tedious task in accessing your information while
the internet is slow, so you have to ensure that you use a flawless
internet connection like Spectrum Internet service with high speed.
 If the internet goes down you wouldn't be able to access the data to cloud
application modernization, unlike on-premise.
 Since you are depending on your service provider who is not a member or
employee of your company, there are chances where it fell into
unauthorized personnel access, so you have to verify their security
practices.
 If your local law enforcement issues a search warrant to your service
provider while your business is being investigated, your service provider
will be forced to provide them access to your complete storage without
your knowledge. And if the service provider resides in a different
country then you shall be bound to abide by the particular country’s data
protection laws.

frequently referred to as a server. That machine might be a dedicated
server or it might be used for other purposes.

Cloud 
 You can sum up the role of cloud computing employees as
managing the end-to-end lifecycle of a cloud environment,
including designing applications for the cloud, planning the
cloud architecture, adapting security measures, provisioning
resources, and maintaining cloud components.

Protocol

establish communication between different devices for the
exchange of data and other services.
 Protocols are needed in every field like society, science &
technology, Data Communication, media, etc.
