\"Debunking<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cloud computing<\/a> is an assemblage that allows users to access computer programs, have storage facilities and use numerous IT resources placed on a virtual cloud platform on the internet. Users simply need to rent space from cloud platforms in order to access data online which is remotely stored on the cloud. Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS)<\/a>, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)<\/a> are some of the popular and reliable platforms used by customers all over the world.<\/p>\n

Being a relatively new technology, several misconceptions are hovering around in terms of the pros and cons for its usage. Let\u2019s have a brief insight on some of the related concerns.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The greatest advantage of cloud computing is lower costs<\/li>\n
  2. Clouds are a one-size-fits-all<\/li>\n
  3. Cloud computing is synonymous with virtualisation<\/li>\n
  4. Data Security is at risk<\/li>\n
  5. You\u2019re either all in or all out<\/li>\n
  6. Clouds only operate on commodity components<\/li>\n
  7. Service providers may trap you in a \u2018lock-in\u2019<\/li>\n
  8. Your current computer systems will continue to work just as smoothly after the transition<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. The greatest advantage of cloud computing is lower costs<\/h2>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"The<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Resource and data consolidation in cloud computing results in a substantial cost saving, yet shifting onto a cloud for lower hardware and maintenance costs is rarely the biggest driving force. The fact of the matter is that organisations are now seeing greater benefits such as resource sharing, auto-scaling, flexibility and business advancement by adopting cloud technology.<\/p>\n

    2. Clouds are a one-size-fits-all<\/h2>\n

    Every business has different functions and requirements and would want an extensive range of cloud-computing options to choose from. A sizable variety of cloud platforms are available which can be tailored to the needs and specifications of the company. Hence, clouds are not a \u2018one-size-fits-all\u2019 platform.<\/p>\n
