Why not try this[^] first?
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Business applications are moving to the cloud. It’s not just a fad—the shift from traditional software models to the Internet has steadily gained momentum over the last 10 years. Looking ahead, the next decade of cloud computing promises new ways to collaborate everywhere, through mobile devices.

the idea with cloud computing is to have all of your application and your files on the internet (the cloud).
This way you have some advantages:
-it should be less expensive since you don't pay for maintenance of your own server, you only pay for what you need when you need it (you can choose how much resource you want to pay and you can scale it up easily)
-you can have your application and files everywhere you go, on whatever device you find
-you're granted with a really high up time and high security
The are disadvantages:
-You have to be connected to the internet
-you don't have any control over security

From my point of view, this could be in the advantage column as well as in the disadvantages.....

Well yeah it may be an advantage if you don't want to create some security service or buy an external service, or if you do want to have a custom service but don't know what the hell you're doing

That's what I meant. Maybe I would add that it might also be an advantage for all those who "think" they know what they are doing, but don't....
