The future of computing is slowing turning to the cloud. Eventually, most individuals and companies will be utilizing the cloud. Businesses can use high quality cloud computing, grow as needed, without having to spend a lot of capital. Cloud computing offers the flexibility of meeting on demand computing needs along with system availability, performance and security features. Cloud computing is faster and less expensive as they would only pay for what is used. Cloud computing is a method for hosting and delivering applications and data.
Information resides in the cloud with no need for locally stored software and data. (Ching-Wen 2012).
We are all familiar with and use the cloud in many different ways. If you use Gmail, Amazon music downloads, Itunes, Microsoft Office 365, you are using cloud technology. The Cloud eliminates the need to store large amounts of data on your computer or tablet. Access to programs without downloading them is also a benefit to cloud computing. The best benefit of cloud computing in my opinion is being able to access your information from any computer, tablet or smartphone that has an internet connection. This eliminates the need to store your data on a disk or flash drive and carry it with you.
Businesses using the cloud would save money on hardware and software, networking management and general IT. The main factor driving organizations to adopt new Cloud based operational models is the potential to reduce infrastructure and labor costs.
Another advantage of cloud computing is that it would make computer viruses and malware almost nonexistent. Any attacks would be stopped at the cloud level and never reach your computer.
The virus protection would take place at the cloud level, and would not be the responsibility of the individual user. As long as the cloud
