Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloud Computing.
21st century is a era where people are using technologies so that they can make their day
to day life easier. Cloud computing is also a technology which is on rise and resolving people
and businesses issues of data storage. Internet is a place where lots of data exists and information
on that platform is the data which was stored in the local hard drive in past time. Cloud
computing provides unlimited data storage which the local was not able to it. It has specific
memory and after that storage gets welled up than the company will have to buy another storage
device and other than this no backup option is available if the data gets crushed or lost. It
becomes headache for the company to safeguard so much data in a single time which becomes
difficult for them. Through this research I have learned that cloud computing can be the future of
internet but there are some loopholes which is hiding its benefits and preventing people and
companies to use it.
I found that handling a data was not a easy task till cloud computing came in the market.. Earlier
companies very fully dependent upon the local data storage or local computing and for that they
have to pay a lot of money so that they could store the data of their business. I made sure that I
could cover all the areas of cloud computing and its should analysis from every point of view.
Not all the information I recorded was relevant, but nothing what I found informative contributed
to my ability to form an overview on re-reading. If some of the core disadvantages can be work
upon they can easily be improved. Techniques used was appropriate for study and consideration
were decided through different particular subdivision. It was more relevant in nature and majorly
important for researchers to perform their role and responsibility as best of they can do.
In the research I founded that there are certain methodologies that are applicable in
current situations as explained in business proposal. By adopting this they can reduce the cost of
their services who are used for storage purpose. The first thing which I observed was the
advantage of cloud computing for Apple. When they were using the traditional storage system
they didn't had the rights to modify the storage according to them and the data can be shared
anywhere. If the person who are sitting in the another country and wants to go through the data
of the company so he can access the data by the permission through cloud computing.

To make research more relevant I made an effort of analysing both the quantitative and
qualitative data but mainly qualitative data was used as it gave more insights and detailed
information about the cloud computing. Qualitative data is those which is typically in descriptive
data and as strong to identified then quantitative data.
The research I carried out was on exploratory research based as exploring new ideas and
concepts. Experimental design which was mentioned in the research methodology involved
mathematical analysis for developing and proofing basic theory. It was decided that if we have to
highlight the impact of cloud we have to look at its benefits or advantage and disadvantages. It is
through an in-depth evaluation of primary and secondary information that I am able to generate
valid and reliable outcomes.
I think in future people will have no other option to move to the cloud computing so the
companies who are providing the data storage services has to work hard, make strategic planning
on security related issues because data of the clients and users are important and need to be
preserved because users heavily depend on the company as they are relying. Not only Apple was
considered for this but various IT companies were also analysed to know how they see cloud
computing for their businesses and how much they use this advanced technology.
Before carrying out the research a plan was prepared in which it was defined that what
we will be doing to know the impacts of this, so for that we have decided that we have to study
all its advantage, market share and at what level Apple and other companies use this technology.
We came to know that these are advantages and these are the areas where it beats the local
computing or local storage system. But the biggest blender which I see in this is that there are
countries in the world which are not developed much and the internet market is not penetrated
that much. Cloud computing totally rely on the internet but countries which fall in African and
Asian countries lack the basic needs like people out there might not have a gadget like computer,
smartphone or tablet on which they can use internet.
I think these kind of independent researches helps companies to know what are where
they are lagging and at what areas they can improve themselves. It gives them insight about the
future market of cloud computing so such researches should be encouraged by the private IT
companies. Apple who holds the big share of IT sector have to focus on the disadvantages of

cloud computing which is mentioned in the research and should take preventive steps or come
out with ideas which could solve these issues.
