Benefits

            Cloud computing has many features and benefits.  Its internet based services support business processes and allow for a resourceful sharing of space at a significantly low cost. In addition, networks experience fast application deployment on demand. Network access is abundant and simple while offering businesses the benefits of “agility, faster startup time, reduced management costs, and just-in-time availability of resources” (Bhargava, et. Al, n.d). While businesses were the first to benefit, the personal cloud is a recent development that is used by individuals to share and store data. This allows files to be stored remotely rather than on individual computers, making it much simpler and easier to access personal documents and information despite location (Kyriazis, 2010). Access is available wherever the internet is available, which is almost everywhere in this day and age. It is cost effective and updates are handled remotely, saving individuals time and energy on downloading and managing constant computer upgrades.
