Cloud computing is growing at a very fast rate. More and
more companies are starting to take advantage of this new technologies and
services that are being offered from cloud computing. Since cloud computing
involves information being stored over a network many are concerned about how
secure is the data stored in the cloud. The article talked about how cloud
computing has several major issues and concerns. Those issues and concerns are
data security, trust, expectations, regulation, and performance issues. These issues and concerns are some of the
reasons that some people are afraid of using cloud computing. There are many
hackers that can potentially access the data via cloud computing.
There are many advantages to cloud computing that are useful
for businesses. The article mentioned a few of these advantages. The main two
that stood out to me were the limitless flexibly and unlimited storage. With
limitless flexibly it allows you to access different databases and combine them
into a particular service to fit the needs of your business. Unlimited storage is also an important factor
because some companies consume a large amount of data everyday. With unlimited
storage they don’t have to worry about running out of storage space.
The article talked about current problems and
solutions. In the article it says, “ The
main problems could computing faces are preserving confidentiality and
integrity of data in aiding data security.
The primary solution from these problems is encryption of data stored in
the cloud. “ From this statement you can
see that confidentiality is a problem because companies want to make sure their
data is private and not able to be accessed by anyone who isn’t within the
company. Keeping data private is
probably the most important thing for any company using cloud computing. If
their data gets exposed the company may become vulnerable and hackers may
potentially gain access to companies data.
