The evolution of the businesses is of the opinion nowadays that innovation drives the production process of the business more rapidly and also brings in more productivity for the business (Hood et al., 2016). Web or internet is the main source that brings in innovation for the businesses. There are a lot of advantages that Cloud computing have over the traditional way of technology cycles. As in the process of cloud computing the data of the businesses are stored in the clouds rather than in the devices of the employees, more employees have access to the data and thus the business processes are not hindered due to lack of access. Also, cloud computing does providing access to a lot of organizations in order to store data in the server and use the applications without even owning those servicers or applications (Armbrust et al., 2010). Grid computing and cloud computing are similar terms and also the process is more or less same for both.
This particular report that have been made will be discussing about the details of cloud computing and will, also discuss the engineering, architecture as well as infrastructure related to the cloud computing. A variety of advantages as well as disadvantages are there in the cloud computing process which will as well be discussed in this report.
The objectives with which the advancement has been made are mentioned below:
The scope of this project is to find out the ways in which cloud computing can be used for the future in the businesses and in the course of this project, the disadvantages will be analyzed for that reason. Studying the disadvantages of the cloud computing upon the business, it will be recommended that how the business will be able to fill these loopholes. This project will help the businesses to fill the loopholes with the help of the IT managers in the business and will also help to strengthen the advantages of the cloud computing process in the business. So, the main scope of the project is to find strengthen more the advantages of cloud computing as well as recognize the loopholes which can help the businesses to make better use of cloud computing.
4.1 Cloud Computing in Business:
The process of cloud computing is fully dependent upon the internet and the businesses can take help from various sites in the internet which is referred to as cloud computing (Qian et al., 2009). This is also a process that helps the businesses to not to buy the products but use it in lieu of money. The businesses handles their resources online with the help of cloud computing and since the invention of this process this technology has evolved a lot (Foster et al., 2008). With the help of this process, the businesses are able to access a variety of information over the internet from various sites.
There are a lot of IT resources that a business has access to, over the internet, while the cloud computing used by a business is very confidential in nature (Rittinghouse et al., 2016). Upon the internet, the content based in IT are shared with the help of WWW while cloud computing provides a capability to the client as well as back end support to the businesses.
Cloud computing is also sometimes based upon the technology as well as on internet protocol but Internet is always based upon the Web. Cloud computing can make use of any protocol so that it can access the resources of IT that are remote in nature.
There are front end as well as back end which are there in the cloud computing framework and this points remain linked with the help of internet (Botta et al., 2016). The front end interface contains both the clients as well as applications while the back end consists of cloud which combines data storage, virtual machines, security, methods of deployment and a variety of servers.
Cloud computing consists of four methods of deployment
Community Cloud:
Under this method, many organizations share the sane private cloud (Dave et al., 2016).
Private Cloud:
One of the most protected clouds, the private cloud, and this cloud is managed by third party organizations. This cloud helps to protect information that is sensitive in nature.
Public Cloud:
This type of cloud can be accessed by general public with the help of the internet. Google, Yahoo handles these types of clouds (Prabhu et al., 2017).
Hybrid Clouds:
Hybrid clouds provide benefits of both Private as well as public clouds.
There are a lot of advantages that cloud computing provides to the business which have been mentioned below:
Cost Minimization:
Minimization of cost helps to remove the cost of the business for the management of IT programmes of the business (Patel et al., 2013). The businesses can save the cost of the organization with the help of storing the data in the third party database. Also, a variety of other information that is sensible for the business can be stored in the database which can help the organization to save the cost of the organization. Cost of energy, time, human resource etc. are all saved by the business organization with the help of cloud computing.
Improvement of scalability:
Even if there is threat from the cloud storage of a third party service, the business can change the cloud storage platform instantly which will not harm their process of operations (Assunção et al., 2015). The flexible change of needs of the business can be handled by cloud technology very easily.
This helps to imply the concept of work from home in the business with the help of cloud computing which can help the employees to stay more flexible and also increase the business productivity (Abdollahzadegan et al., 2013).
Automatic Updates:
The businesses are able to access the automatic updates of the cloud platform. During the contract that the business signs with the cloud platform the charges of the automatic updates receiving remains embedded since the starting.
There are mainly two main disadvantages of cloud computing in the business and the first and foremost of them are, during updating the technology in the business, the culture of the business generally attached to it also changes and for that reason, the employees also needs those upgrades and those employees who doesn’t know how to handle the clouds, it becomes a headache for the organization to teach those employees (Sadiku et al., 2014).
There is also risk of security breach that can happen while the businesses implement this system. With the increase in technology, the rate of suspicious cyber attacks has also increased in the database of the company’s servers which can cause real security breach, looting the data from the servers and sometimes the data which are confidential are leaked out by the attackers.
While the advantages of the businesses are compared to the disadvantages of the cloud computing, it can be seen that the owners of the organizations are mainly anxious about the breach in the security of the cloud platform.
Risk assessment is a significant procedure with the help of which the businesses will be able to reduce the risks and also make superior selection of which platform to select (Chandrasekaran, 2014). There is a guideline that has been set by the Australian Government regarding the cloud use by the businesses and it includes correct agreement, proper storing methods used by the business, investigating the location of the platform, checking the security of the servers should all be checked and inspected by the business before making any decisions.
A lot of studies have been conducted in this field regarding studying the advantages and the disadvantages of the cloud computing technology in the field of business. The businesses that are there in the world have also taken help from these studies in order to find out the loopholes and eliminate them. This is the reason behind the researcher undertaking this particular subject as the research topic and further investigating this topic so that it can help the business organizations to understand the negative side of the cloud technology and take actions accordingly and also understand the advantages to make it stronger than ever.
The studies that were conducted in this particular field were mainly focussed upon the positive side of the cloud computing technologies of the business, but there were little studies made that focussed upon the negative side of the cloud technology upon the business. So, the main focus of the researcher will be upon the negative side of the cloud computing technology upon the business but will also focus upon the positive side as well.

6.1 Qualitative Research:
This particular research will deal with both primary as well as secondary data collected from a variety of online and offline sources by the researcher. The online sources include the journal articles that have been obtained over the internet, online libraries, websites of the businesses, articles and so on (Best et al., 2016). The primary sources include interview of 3 industry experts; who have contributed to this research with the help of their valuable opinions and comments.
The data that have been used for this particular research have been collected following the ethics and three experts of cloud computing that have been selected from the industry were interviewed following the ethics. There were a lot of questions that were asked to the experts which are open ended in nature in order to gain an in-depth understating of the advantages as well as the disadvantages of the cloud computing upon the businesses.
Three industry experts were selected who have an in-depth knowledge about cloud computing and the process of sampling that was followed by the researcher includes non-probabilistic sampling. Also use of convenience sampling technique helped the researcher to make appointments before meeting the experts, as the experts had a very busy schedule (Bryman et al., 2015).
Both primary and secondary data were collected by the researcher while doing this research. Primary data were collected form 3 industry experts, while the secondary data were collected from online as well as offline sources which include peer reviewed articles, books, magazines, online libraries and so on.
The independent variable in this particular research is cloud computing while the dependent variable includes disadvantage and advantages of the cloud computing technology upon the businesses.
There were a lot of challenges that were faced by the researcher while taking part in this research staring form gathering data for the research to following the ethics of the research. Financial constraint as well as time constraint is two main limitations that were faced by the researcher while taking part in this researcher (Patten, 2017). These two aspects have influenced the reliability as well as the accuracy of the whole research. Also, the experts who were selected initially, on the first instance they refused to take part, but later agreed which have made further delay the process of the research.
During the first week, the researcher have made a lot of research in the internet and selected the topic for this particular research while the secondary sources of data collection was also done during the first week itself by the researcher. The second week went on to phrase the literature review for the research. As the literature review was lengthy, it took the 3rd and the 4th week too. The methodology planning was done on 3rd and 4th week of the research time frame while the techniques for conducting the research were selected on 4th and 5th week. The analysis and data interpretation was done on 5th and 6th week of the research and on 6th week itself, the findings and the recommendations were framed by the researcher. The final research project was ready at the end of 7th week.
9.0 Conclusion:
From the discussion above it can be concluded that the researcher have undertaken this particular research in order to understand the advantages as well as the disadvantages of the cloud computing upon the business and how it influences the business that exists in the modern era.
