When starting a new work at home business it is very easy to become consumed by it. We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0in
Why the “Cloud” is good “Clouds” are based on virtual technology, which makes them subject to every advantage virtualization brings into computing. First of all, having cloud storage is way cheaper than owning your own data server. The result is the same for less money. That’s an advantage alright. When it comes to performance, the “Cloud” gives no cons as long as your network throughput is high. Basically, you can enjoy something your gadget doesn’t support due to hardware requirements just because the cloud storage does. To put it simple, let’s take an example of remote desktops. No, let’s go even simpler. A smartphone, a camera and your all-powerful buffed gaming PC. Take the camera and point it into the monitor, then control the PC from your smartphone, playing cutting-edge PC games from your bathroom. Not very convenient, but fun. The same goes with the “Cloud”, where your gadget is just a way to the more powerful compute and storage medium. Apart from that, “Cloud” is considered reliable, because you can’t lose the data even if your phone/tablet/laptop gets stolen or destroyed. Seems good for now, doesn’t it. Why the “Cloud” is bad To start with, never put all the eggs into one basket. Remember that? Great, now imagine that your cloud service provider is not that responsible and doesn’t have backups. If something happens to their hardware while you have a business meeting dependent on the “Cloud”, and you’re pretty much done. The same goes with constant Internet access. Lose that and all you have in the cloud storage stays in the cloud storage, as they say about Las Vegas. The provider may also try to get more clients than they can really handle, still giving you access, but with a speed of a wounded slug. Makes all the showing off quite ridiculous, and when it comes to business, everything will look unreliable. Of course, you can always download the data prior to when you actually need it, but what’s the use of “Cloud”, then? What we’re trying to imply here is that the “Cloud” is actually very interesting and convenient technology, but it has what we call SPoF, a Single Point of Failure. Once it’s eliminated, nothing would beat clouds for some time. That’s until something even better comes out, of course.
