Although the term “cloud computing” is often used to the extent that one may think cloud computing platforms are the same, the truth is that not all clouds are created equal.  Despite the difference that may exist, all clouds depend on the same server hardware that forms the backbone of any computer network. The difference between the traditional and the advanced cloud is the processing power and storage capacity of the available hardware over the internet.

Cloud Computing and databases are the valuable resources of the Digital Era. They are significant for data storage and extraction at affordable rates and efforts. Additionally, they significantly reduce the sophistication in running and handling interfaces, saving and sharing time within any required infrastructure. But with all the awe-inspiring benefits, they also come with vulnerability. The information that it maintains needs safety and security against undesirable elements. Where the market base is now the vast majority of consumers, the cloud security of fragments and sensitive information is at risk. The report of 2019 titled “Top Threats to Cloud Computing: Egregious Eleven” talks about the same. These eleven threats are an increasing concern that needs mitigation, prevention, and timely address.

For years, cloud computing was just but a hype that many had no interest in. But this was not until the COVID-19 pandemic came in knocking. As the world took extreme measures to limit infections, including minimizing working from offices, it dawned to many organizations that cloud computing was indeed critical for their survival. Amid the current situation that not many had anticipated, businesses need to find solutions to continue their operations despite not being able to work from physical offices. This means one thing, adopting cloud solutions and work from home (WFH) strategies. Here are some benefits that cloud computing is offering to organizations as they enforce WFH strategies.
