Question

How would you reply to this discussion:

Cloud Computing is a way to store massive amounts of information on remote servers. Unlike saving information on your local hard drive or flash drive, cloud storage is almost like a magical place that keeps (so we hope) your information safe and secure. A couple of different cloud computing examples are.

1. Communication: these would be examples of Skype or WhatsApp. I have used both applications, though I haven't used skype in many years, I currently use WhatsApp daily,

2. Backup and Recovery: Large storage to save your information. I always like to say, It's somewhere in the cloud. Examples, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Amazon S3. Out of these three, I have only used Dropbox, this was used during my Web Design class.

3. Social Networking: We all know about social networking, we all may use them on a daily basis. Also, social networking is the most popular of cloud computing. Some examples are Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram to name a few.

This week I actually learn a lot. Back in my computer help desk days, I remember building a computer by imaging. But it was different to see the different way to divide the disk space. Very interesting.

Answer 1

yes. cloud computing is a brilliant problem solver for storage problems, security issues ,portability, agility

all the stuff you store in cloud can be with you all the time given you are having a proper internet connection,here's where the problem come from in developing countries theres not 100% internet coverage so it'll be hard to access all your files or use the apps that uses cloud computing its not only that todays world is entering digital era where a users data has a lot of important value ,just imagine you are giving away your data to some company to store it ,there are lot of scandals recently the tech gaint Facebook and cambridge analytica data leak or still if the servers of the data storage companys are hacked all your data will be vulnerable and if theres a maintenance going for the server all the functions will be stopped so as of cloud computing has not reached its pinnacle its a work in progress so its better not to completely depend on it
