Advantages 

Cost-Efficient − Building our own servers and tools is time-consuming as well as expensive as we need to order, pay for, install, and configure expensive hardware, long before we need it. However, using cloud computing, we only pay for the amount we use and when we use the computing resources. In this manner, cloud computing is cost-efficient.

Reliability − A cloud computing platform provides much more managed, reliable and consistent service than an in-house IT infrastructure. It guarantees 24x7 and 365 days of service. If any of the servers fails, then hosted applications and services can easily be transited to any of the available servers.

Unlimited Storage − Cloud computing provides almost unlimited storage capacity, i.e., we need not worry about running out of storage space or increasing our current storage space availability. We can access as much or as little as we need. 

Backup & Recovery − Storing data in the cloud, backing it up, and restoring the same is relatively easier than storing it on a physical device. The cloud service providers also have enough technology to recover our data, so there is the convenience of recovering our data anytime. 

Easy Access to Information − Once you register yourself in the cloud, you can access your account from anywhere in the world provided there is an internet connection at that point. There are various storage and security facilities that vary with the account type chosen.
