Cloud computing is very cost saving for a business as it leads to all of the servers and hard drives to be maintained by another company with no extra on premise equipment. This makes it cost efficient compared to locally maintained hardware.

Cloud computing is also reliable for a business as most providers guarantee 24/7/365 and 99.99% availability. This also includes a fall back mechanism which will trigger if a server fails to transmit it through other servers.

Disadvantages:
Downtime is a problem for cloud computing as providers get a big number of clients calling in with their problems

Cloud computing is taking services and moving them outside an organisation's firewall and storing them within a "Cloud". This means that services such as applications, storage and others can be accessed through the Web. 
These services are delivered and used over the internet and are paid by the cloud customer within an "as-needed" or "pay-per-use" business model.]]> 2018-03-26 14:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/btiman24/cloudcomputing/wish/246110030 Challenge - Find some examples of cloud computing kervinlabuguen https://padlet.com/btiman24/cloudcomputing/wish/246115391 Types of Cloud Computing
