2. What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is a type of computing
that relies on sharing computing

3. Why cloud computing?
A number of characteristics define cloud
data, applications services and
infrastructure:

• The result is a utility computing model similar
to traditional that of traditional utilities,
like gas and electricity - you pay for what you
would want!
7. Disadvantages of cloud computing
• Requires a constant Internet connection
• Does not work well with low-speed
connections
• Can be slower in transferring data
