While the
accessibility to information makes cloud computing efficient, it generates an
enormous amount of security challenges. Allowing for your information to
be stored on a third party's hard drive is always risky. There is a
consistent risk of losing data, which is unattractive to any company. Hackers
will always be a problem when working with any type of Internet source.
Because cloud computing allows for a massive amount of information to be
stored publicly, hackers see an inexpensive opportunity to gather endless
amounts of data.
Cloud
computing seems like a very inexpensive way to store data. While the costs to
create and uphold a cloud are inexpensive, the expenses concerning the actual
communication can become rather large. The cost to actually move the data
in and out of a cloud and through database systems does expand. This
factor becomes apparent especially when you are using a hybrid cloud.
Cloud computing is such a new phenomenon that it requires a lot of
maintenance. For software to be supported through cloud computing,
re-design and re-development must happen to make them compatible.
The
integration of previous and new computing is one of the biggest challenges
faced. Each user has a different way of communication with the cloud;
this could allow for narrow data sharing. Once the cloud establishes a
pattern of a user's information, it continues to accommodate future use.
Not only does the cloud have a different "relationship" with
each consumer, but the migration of previous data into new software poses a
problem due to the outdate. Because of the steady growth of information
technology, consistent maintenance is a must. Throughout the years of
routine change, this would become an expensive liability.

You mentioned how new software and updated software might not be compatible with other software being used. Will this have an effect on the expansion of the use of cloud computing?
ReplyDeleteIt could hinder the process slightly. Of course with the consistent advancement in technology, glitches will be eventually worked out. While technology continues to expand, compatibility will always be an issue
ReplyDeleteThis may initially be a problem now, but it will work itself out very soon. Many people had the same concerns when online banking was first introduced, but now those are some of the most secure networks on the internet. Cloud computing will be the future of data and the internet, you can be sure that there will be millions and millions of dollars invested into its security and upkeep.
