Cloud computing is extremely important in today's society

Cloud computing is extremely important in today's society since it allows users to access information such as music, films, and other media.

Cloud computing is a relatively new notion that is gaining traction among IT experts. The cloud computing paradigm creates a scalable resource pool accessible over the internet that may be made available to multiple users on-demand at low prices. The merits and drawbacks of cloud computing are discussed in this study.

It is a sort of Internet-based computing that allows computers and other devices to access shared resources, software, and information on demand. It's a concept for providing ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be supplied and released quickly with no administration effort or service provider contact.

There are some advantages of cloud computing:

1. Increased Collaboration

2. Quality Control

3. Cost Savings

4. Security

5. Flexibility

6. Insight

7. Disaster Recovery

8. Loss Prevention

9. Automatic Software Updates

10. Competitive Edge

11. Mobility

12. Sustainability

Cloud computing is a type of internet-based computing that allows users to share pools of configurable computing resources and data. This comprises software, platforms, infrastructure, and deployment services, as well as complete copies of these, for the purpose of hosting applications and services offered as internet services. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (paaS), and Software as a Service are the three basic forms of Cloud Computing (SaaS).

 

There are three different types of cloud computing

1. Public Cloud

2. Private Cloud

3. Hybrid Cloud

4. Community Cloud

 

Let's discuss them one by one

 

1. Public Cloud:  It is also known as "Infrastructure as a Service". A public cloud environment is built to provide scalable hardware with resources that can be deployed quickly when needed by adding or deleting virtual servers and storage.

 

2. Private Cloud:  A Private Cloud is a cloud computing service provided by your company for external and internal customers that does not require access to the internet. This innovative technology provides a low-cost, secure way to distribute and share data and resources across a local network.

 

3. Hybrid Cloud:  A hybrid cloud is a computer environment that combines private and public cloud computing to supply apps, platforms, and infrastructure. One of the most common ways for integrating the best of both public and private clouds and making the most of it is hybrid cloud.

 

Following Companies that provide cloud storage service:

 

1. Drop Box

2. Google

3. Dell's secure health care cloud

4. Marapost for marketing

5. Hubspot

6. Sliderocket

7. Ratatype

8. Amazon

9. Shared Services

 

If you need to view a file but don't have it on your laptop or tablet, you can use Dropbox or Google Drive to do it. Better yet, if your phone dies while you're out and about, you won't lose any of your images because they'll be safely saved up in iCloud. The best part is that this convenience is almost free: Dropbox's free plan includes 2 GB of storage, while Google Drive provides 15 GB.

 

The most generous free plans provide each user with 15 GB of storage space, which is more than enough for hundreds of thousands of text files or tens of thousands of photos—far more than any one person could ever want. Even premium plan subscribers won't have to spend much to obtain access to vast quantities of cloud storage space; most firms charge less than $10 per month for 1 TB (1,000 GB).

 

Dropbox is the first and most widely used cloud storage service. There is a free plan with 2GB of storage available. Its paid options start at $8 per month for 1TB of storage, with annual subscriptions offering discounts. Dropbox is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS. It's a terrific option for anyone who want a simple cloud storage solution that works with their existing workflow.

 

Google Drive is the company's cloud storage service. It comes with 15GB of free storage space that you can use across your Google Photos, Gmail, and Google Drive accounts. Google offers 100GB of storage for $1.99 per month or 1TB of storage for $9.99 per month if you need more than 15GB. Google Drive is available on Windows and macOS PCs, Android devices, and iPhones and iPads, and interacts easily with your Gmail account (if you use Gmail).

 

Apple iCloud is pre-installed on all Apple devices and is used to sync data between your iPhone and iPad and your Mac computer (and vice versa). All customers are given 5GB of free iCloud storage, but if you need more, you can purchase it directly from Apple for $0.50 per 50GB.
