The Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloud Computing Michael Marlowe, Columbus OH
Introduction • Michael Marlowe, an entrepreneur who has started businesses in Columbus, OH, is currently the director of strategy and vice president of new markets at Chasetek. Headquartered in Columbus, OH, Chasetek is an infrastructure management company specializing in voice and data networks and energy management. In his position, Michael Marlowe utilizes his experience as a telecommunications broker to develop, evaluate, and communicate new and existing strategies for the organization. Cloud computing is one service that Chasetek coordinates for its clients. Cloud computing involves storing and accessing data, files, and programs over the internet rather than on a computer’s hard drive. More and more individuals, businesses, and government entities are utilizing the cloud due to its many advantages. When considering a switch to cloud based storage, technology professionals should consider the disadvantages as well. Advantages:
Cloud Computing • - Requiring no licensing fees, less IT equipment and very little maintenance, cloud systems offer organizations significant cost savings. Many cloud providers offer a pay-as- you-go system, allowing an organization to add programs at will. - Nearly unlimited storage is another perk to cloud systems. During peak seasons or when an organization finds that more storage is necessary, it's very simple to augment current levels. - Backup and recovery is simplified and expedited. - The ability of employees to work anywhere and at any time is one of the most significant advantages of cloud computing.
Conclusion • Disadvantages: - When a cloud service provider is attacked or suffers from technical difficulties, every client suffers. - An flawless internet connection must be maintained. - Cloud services can be vulnerable to attack, putting a company’s sensitive information at risk. When considering a cloud service, an organization must remember that all of its information is being managed by a third party provider.
