Here are some common myths around <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that have been making enterprises think twice before incorporating it into their business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #1: Cloud computing lacks security\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest and primal myths of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that it&#8217;s not a very safe infrastructure. This is because the cloud environment is constantly subjected to development, and security measures are changing accordingly. Even though earlier cloud security was fragile, it is now very robust and advanced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although cloud security issues persist, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> data security protocols have progressed immensely and are on the road to betterment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #2: Cloud computing is expensive\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an age-old myth revolving around <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. On the contrary, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is much more feasible and cheaper for operations providing immense cost benefits and reducing overall expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">88% of cloud users<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have now realised that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is cost-effective. It also helps substantially maintain its environment for building and maintaining its IT system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #3: Cloud computing is similar to SaaS\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though both have similar features in certain ways, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and SaaS are not the same. SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a model that delivers applications and models hosted centrally. On the other hand, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> defines storage over remote servers managing, storing and processing data instead of using site servers and equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SaaS is a part of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which needs a paid subscription to access a pre-developed, cloud-based software. SaaS is not a versatile model. Another difference is that cloud computing offers total control over its management, which SaaS lacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #4: Cloud computing is a temporary phenomenon\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has now become more and more rooted in the current scenario. This is prevalent professionally and plays a major role in private practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the rapid cloud market development, more and more businesses are inclined to shift to a cloud-based environment. The cloud environment has numerous benefits like scalability, cost-effectiveness and other important aspects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Myth #5: Cloud computing will not replace traditional data centres<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the end of this decade, Cisco has predicted that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/solutions\/service-provider\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">92% of the workloads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would be based solely on cloud data centres. With the rapid development of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, traditional data centres would gradually cease to exist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the cloud might not completely let go of traditional data centres. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/solutions\/service-provider\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cisco<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s analysis, the traditional data centres have a workload density of 3.5 which was only 2.2 in 2015. Hence, cloud servers would still have to run on different crucial applications like Solaris, Linux and Oracle DB.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key takeaways from the myths\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above myths might not be true about <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud computing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but some aspects still make enterprises apprehensive about adopting cloud services.
