WikitipHow to Overcome the Disadvantages of Cloud ComputingDespite recent events exposing the downsides of cloud computing, industry experts predict an increase in businesses’ interest in moving their data to the cloud. How come this trend is on a rising path? With cloud computing, every business has the ability to get custom IT services in a simple and fast way and with reduced costs, whether the organization is well-established or an ambitious start-up.

Featured How-To Note |

IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. |
