Cloud computing security and privacy issue

 

If you are curious about cloud computing and its possible effect on the users’ privacy and security, you might be interested to learn the benefits of cloud computing. Below are the 10 benefits of cloud computing.

1. Improve flexibility – you can change direction without serious “people” or “financial” issues at stake.
2. Globalize your workforce on the cheap – people worldwide can access the cloud, provided they have an Internet connection.
3. Reduce capital costs – there’s no need to spend big money on hardware, software or licensing fees.
4. Achieve economies of scale – increase volume output or productivity with fewer people. Your cost per unit, project, or product plummets.
5. Improve accessibility – you have access anytime, anywhere, making your life so much easier.
6. Minimize licensing new software – stretch and grow without the need to buy expensive software licenses or programs.
7. Reduce spending on technology infrastructure – maintain easy access to your information with minimal upfront spending. Pay as you go [weekly, quarterly, or yearly] based on demand.
8. Streamline processes – get more work done in less time with less people.
9. Monitor projects more effectively – stay within budget and ahead of completion cycle times.
10. Less personnel training is needed – it takes fewer people to do more work on a cloud, with a minimal learning curve on hardware and software issues.
