Risks
dependent on the provider
safety and data protection
risk of renouncing own IT competence
reliability of the cloud
a working internet connection is crutial
potential need to adapt to the providers software if own software is not offered
data protection regulations can be violated
Potentials
scalable
dynamic load distribution - on demand
not all IT resources have to be bought, only those that are needed
10% -50% of the IT hardware is only used in load peaks
quick renting of additional capacity i needed (e.g. due to business growth)
lower costs
no investment risks (for small companies)
easy: management of the servers is outsourced
Green IT
no long-term capital tie-up
risk transfer to provider through defining a SLA (Service Level Agreement)
technology is up to date
using regional locations that are cheaper than storing the IT in the location of the own company
