What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud refers to a virtual storage space used to store all sorts of data items. Software as a Service (SaaS) is the common principle of cloud computing. However, there are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) platforms as well.

Cloud Computing vs OnPremises – Major Key Differences


-

USAG E

Cloud Computing: The cloud data is hosted on an external server and can be accessed from anywhere using the Internet. On-Premises: The On-Premise database/applications are installed and maintained locally. Their database can only be accessed using the same devices or applications.


-

CONTR OL

Cloud Computing: The security of data has always been a major concern of users and it is also a primary barrier to cloud computing deployment.

On-Premises: All the companies having sensitive information like bank details, health reports, requires a certain level of security and data protection.


-

COMPLIA NCE
