Why we use it?

Cloud computing technology is an internet-driven platform where resources are
transferred through channels of networks from server to client that replaces the
use of physical hardware and software.

Therefore, in today’s world, where technology is upgrading at the speed of light,
it is very important to know which technology to go for and the right use of
technology. Thus, cloud technology comes in, and despite having adverse effects
on the internet, it remains the fastest technology to work with, and it became the
latest trend in today’s market. So the purpose of using it is to diversify resources
worldwide by interconnecting customers and giving the business users the to
expand their market by retaining their customers in this field by utilizing the
proper resources at the right time. The biggest reason, according to me, why
everyone uses the cloud is that it provides us with the best backup system of any
resources of any file size that can be corrupted or become unusable if kept in a
local drive or storage. It has been a tremendous boom in the recent trend of
technologies for IT professionals where they can access resources and work from
anywhere in the world, making it more flexible to work and handle clients.

Advantages

If I started to write about the benefits, we can get from Cloud technology, it
would be a never-ending topic since its advantages are vastly eradicating its
minor disadvantages.
In spite of that, I have listed down its major advantages that are worth
considering:

 Cost Optimization: This technology brings a variety of useful
resources that utilise the overall cost and saves the cost. This technology
does not require any physical hardware installation, and the user can use
it on a pay-per-use basis rather than subscription charges.

 Scalability and Resource Utilization: This technology offers the best
scalability by utilizing the resources across the platform, offering better
reliability of storage for the users.

 Data Security: Having a huge amount of data stored in one cloud
server still provides the best data backup and the security of its
resources and makes it readily available for the users whenever they
want to do something with it.
 Collaboration and Ease of Use: The cloud technology platform
provides an effective collaboration that makes the users to be
interconnected from anywhere in the world by using the internet,
connected virtually.
