The cloud is a computer network of remote servers hosted on the Internet and used to store, manage and process data in place of local servers or personal computers. There is rich, complex and shared data storage in the cloud (Oxforddictionaries.com, 2014). Furthermore. In virtual computing there is also an element used to explain a range of computing concepts which include a large number of computers connected via a real-time communications network such as the Internet. Since then, cloud computing has been synonymous with distributed computing over a network, meaning the ability to run a program or application on multiple connected computers at the same time. The phrase is often used in reference to network-based services, which appear to be provided by real server hardware, and are in fact served by virtual hardware, simulated by software running on one or more real machines (Viswanathan , 2012). Such virtual servers do not physically exist and therefore can be moved and expanded or contracted on the fly without affecting the end user, much like a cloud that becomes larger or smaller without being a physical object. Moreover, in common usage, the term "cloud" is essentially a metaphor for the Internet (Jaatun and Zhao et al., 2009).Advantage of cloud computing• Cost-effectiveTraditional desktop software is expensive for businesses in terms of financing in Adding up the license fees for multiple users can prove very costly for the institution concerned. The cloud, on the other hand, is available at much cheaper rates and can therefore significantly reduce the company's IT expenses. Besides, there are many one-time payment, pay-as-you-go and other scalable options, which makes it very reasonable for cloud computing...... middle of paper ..... .hings, we need to put both the pros and cons as can be seen here. The Desktop system has a simple and straightforward way to access data. Additionally, it provides an easy way to upgrade hardware (Rice, 2002, pp. 17-60). Disadvantages of desktop system • Accessible only from one location • More expensive hardware and software Conclusion I think cloud technology is the future. Moreover, like everything else, Cloud computing system has advantages and disadvantages. This technology can prove to be a great asset for SBM, as it can help them develop their system in a simple, inexpensive and efficient way. All the downsides of the cloud can be solved in one step: hire the best to solve technical and security problems. Finally, since SBM is large enough to be the third party, this way they ensure that all the information will be safe..
