COMPUTAÇÃO EM NUVEM: UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE OS BENEFÍCIOS PROPORCIONADOS PARA PESSOAS E EMPRESAS

Abstract

Cloud Computing represents a significant evolution in the way data and computational services are stored, processed, and accessed. This study aims to analyze the benefits provided by cloud computing for individuals and companies, as well as to compare it with the traditional computing model. The research is characterized as qualitative, based on a bibliographic review of articles, books, and scientific publications between 2015 and 2024. The analysis shows that cloud computing offers advantages such as cost reduction, scalability, flexibility, remote access, and greater operational efficiency. On the other hand, the traditional model provides greater control over data and independence from internet connectivity. Information security aspects are also discussed, as they are essential in cloud environments. The results indicate that the adoption of cloud computing has grown significantly in Brazil and worldwide, driven by digital transformation and the need for more dynamic technological solutions. It is concluded that cloud computing has become a strategic alternative, although it still requires attention regarding data security and governance.
