CLOUD COMPUTING the practice of
using a network of remote servers
hosted on the Internet to store,
manage, and process data, rather
than a local server or a personal
computer.
ADVANTAGES
No need to install
Saves hard disk space
Easy access to your software/files; can be ran
anywhere as long as there is internet connection
Saves your money from buying software licenses
and additional hard disk space
ADVANTAGES
No need to update because it updates
automatically.
Minimum system requirements
Backup and data recovery are relatively easier
than on a physical device
DISADVANTAGES
Can be hampered down by slow internet speed,
no connection, no cloud computing.
May still require compatible software like a
browser.
You do not own the software; you are simply
renting it.
DISADVANTAGES
Security risk is doing things over the internet as
opposed to your personal computer alone.
More prone to hacking
Limited control ever the infrastructure itself
