Common Cloud
Hosting Myths
Myth 1:
Security Concerns in Cloud
In today’s time, cybersecurity has emerged to
become the biggest concern related to digitized
services. With an increased number of data
breaches in recent times, it has become one of the
key growth areas enterprises focus on when
investing in IT.
Such cyberattacks have caused a myth that the data
hosted on the Cloud is not secure. Cloud security
concerns emerged after the data breaches took
place at major tech houses in the industry.
On-premise systems, also called the legacy systems
are more vulnerable to hackers as they tend to
initiate cybercrimes. The only method to reduce
them is to restrict the physical access of users.
Cloud hosting providers offer multi-layered security
defense mechanisms for protecting the critical data
compared to the legacy systems. Cloud providers
undergo various audits and compliances to match
up with the latest security standards, and this may
not be a compulsory requirement of on-premise
systems. Cloud-based systems can be easily
updated, ensuring critical data remains secured
against all forms of threats and cyberattacks.
Myth 1:
Security Concerns in Cloud
Myth 2:
Enterprises Migrating to the
Public Cloud
Public Cloud hosting providers offer a reduction in
costs and faster development of applications by
providing the required development and testing
infrastructure. This has caused a big amongst the
users that users will migrate to Public Cloud
hosting.
Private Cloud hosting is usually designed for
supporting existing applications and can be an
added choice for enterprises. On the other hand,
the public Cloud can become the best option for
enterprises that need a scalable environment for
testing new, emerging technologies.

A popular Cloud hosting myth is that public Cloud
providers often restrict enterprises for a particular Cloud
provider. This might not be 100% incorrect; however, the
reality lies that an increased number of Cloud vendors are
using the open-source platform for ensuring application
development is compatible across multiple Cloud
platforms, development languages and operating systems.
Owing to this ‘shift,’ application developers are inching
closer to develop in any language and platform. Most of
the Cloud providers allow enterprises with various Cloud
infrastructure options (Private, Public and Hybrid) for
deploying services.
Myth 3:
Cloud Can Cause Vendor Lock-Ins
Myth 4:
Data on Cloud = Data on Internet
Most people have a common myth that the data
present on the Cloud is also present on the Internet.
Going by the basics, Cloud is a network of remote
servers that can be accessed using the Internet only.
However, this doesn’t mean it is on the Internet.
Internet connects a huge collection of connections on
a single network, but Clouds ‘spread’ across the
World might not be directly connected to each other.
People often treat Cloud as a single entity, but one
must realize it is not the case!
Myth 5:
Cloud Services Are Expensive
than Traditional Services
One of the common myths is that Cloud services
are considered more expensive than traditional
ones.
Businesses and individuals using Cloud services
tend to save many additional costs related to
hardware, power and maintenance. Most of the
Cloud providers charge on a pay-per-
consumption basis, allowing them to pay only
for the utilized resources. Pay-per-consumption
can be a stiff challenge when it comes to
traditional systems.
Why Overcome Cloud Myths?
Cloud computing has been the fastest growing
technology all over the World, with more
enterprises and organizations moving to the
Cloud owing to rapid deployment and quick
accessibility. Similar to other technologies,
there are always certain apprehensions and
myths that surround Cloud computing. These
myths must be overcome so that it doesn’t
hamper its adoption on a large scale.
