Pros an cons, suitability and features of cloud storage and computing
In the recent world of technology and IT generated market, business reaching to the
heights of modernisation their business operations. In which, cloud storages and computing
play vital role into the world of IT(De Filippi, and Hassan, 2018). Cloud storage works as
a storage software in which data gets stored, manage and operates whenever gets in demand. It is

the software that provide durability, cost effectiveness and global authentication wherever it
requires. The data stored into this device, the owner gets its all creditability to make it uses and
built according to its needs. This device gets into consideration from the third party seller which
deliver internet place for data locations. This software is scattered to all around the world.
Applications access cloud storage through traditional storage protocols or directly via an API.
These data are majorly secure to enable resistance, customize sand delivery of data warehousing
time to any place at any time.
Features of cloud storage:
 The cloud storage provides easy to excess the software with no hardware requirement. It
provide inbuilt solution of data storage and transfer. It provide assistance of easy in
removing and change the preference of the data, photos, media and scenario. It only
undertake the charges for the premium services that taken for specific purpose . The data
which use less often gets deliver to the lowered used data and make the screen more
reliable and effective. Also, it consist low cost tiers operations which describe economies
of scale and authentic version of auditable rules.
 The software work on consistent basis, as it promote huge requirement of timely changes
and development into the storage by eliminating unwanted data which needs to be
updates(Gandotra, Jha, and Jain, 2017). The system will work when it go with
the development process. These storage system regulate many IT solutions in order to
demonstrate excess of cloud operations into less monetary terms.
 In order to get stored personal data and information, this It solution is provide many

many business firm when they are required for old data, they could find it easily. It work
as a business saviour from the losses it could come through loosing of data. Also, if any
file get deleted from the storage, the feature provide asses ability to retrieve it.

 Syncing function is the most necessary for business organisation in which they

files in a busy schedule but cloud storage provide it automatic features that is the major
facility that business person could get. Moreover, auto syncing and backing up data is a
worth for eliminating loss of any important documents and data.
Advantages of cloud storage:
 cost: a software which is in built and does not require to create space of for keeping it.
For that, it is the best storage device a business could get it in minimum cost. Whereas,
any hardware would be expensive and require maintenance(Jack, 2017). Many small
and large business have affected with its easy going services to regulate smooth
functioning.
 Security: The most required aspect in a business is the security of data won which all the
busies functions depends upon. Managers pay high cost and charges for getting the best
security control for saving from any theft. But the cloud storage enables security services
as no outsider could not get the files without the permission of the owner.
Disadvantages:
 internet connectivity: the main disadvantage of using could storage is the data
connection. As it contains internet with high Mbps and velocity or either the files would
get delay in storing of syncing. In doing online business, employees needs quick assess
and data transfer.
 Support: support system of cloud storage is not effective as it do not provide reliable
excess to the uses. This features is mainly feasible for paid storage. There is no
assistance if data got stick or cell phones, laptop would get lost.
 Extra cost: this software consist many extra cost for downloading or transferring big
files to far connections. Also, cost contains on getting premium services of cloud
storage.
Cloud Computing: cloud computing is useful for keeping the data up to date. It is based on
completing specific projects with the connectivity with cloud storage. The data will be fist move
into cloud storage then it could be use in cloud computing(Khan, Rehmani, and Rachedi,
2017). When these data move to cloud computing Others can also make use of it. Business
involve these software into their operations for transferring file to other employees and make it

available for all the departments in order to make presentation for all and every other
employees will watch it into their computers. In large organisation where information and
communication needs to be regulate to all the human n resources all together and decrease less
time consumption, cloud computing software require professional power an more storage space
fore big files and data(Khanna, and Kaur, 2019).
 Could computing provide remote excess over the data and software through which
coding get enable and managers retrieve their files and data whenever they required at
any place.
 This file system is used mainly forb professional business as it contains a lot of
technical, high power , internet and asses ability. doing online business, it is not required

most sensible and contains business personal data(Silva, Khan, and Han, 2018). These
documents must be kept in password protected rooms so that hackers could get their
reach over them.
Hence, data and information are most sensitive and require regular control on their
protection in the supervision of trusted person and professional experts. Make one time
investment on security measures and enjoy privacy and control throughout the lifespan of
business.
