Benefits of Cloud Computing

“What are the benefits to converting a business or school district to cloud computing?”

As many have posted, I believe that there are many benefits to converting to a cloud. The storage allowance is endless and allows users to keep excessive amounts of data etc in a private storage space. Another benefit is the low cost many cloud providers offer. As stated in Week 8’s blog, “for a mere $50.00 per year ($5.00/month) per user”…Other benefits include:

-Self-regulated: no longer are we having to wait for an IT to come and assist our problem or fix our computers so they are up to date…

-Flexibility: offers a variety of ways to upload, save and organize data

-Easily Accessible: cloud computing allows you to access your cloud more ways that one (computer, mobile phone, other internet devices)

-Reduces storage on your own device 

Overall I find the benefits to out weigh the negative aspects of cloud computing. This is definitely something businesses and school districts should look into, if they haven’t already.
