Last week's poll was on " Which do you think is a bigger issue on Cloud Computing?" . Visitors have voted and the results are analysed. A total of 25 visitors have participated in the poll. Below is a pie chart of the results of the poll (Blogger is having maintenence and we cannot upload images. We are sorry if there are inconvenience caused. We will upload a better pie chart when blogger is back to normal. For the time being, click on the pie chart to see the pie chart clearly) :
Here are the options and their respective results:
A) Privacy (44% with 11 votes)
B) Availability (40% with 10 votes)
C) Legal issues (0% with 0 votes)
D) Software/ Application Security (16% with 4 votes)
Privacy option has the most votes over the other options. The option with the second most votes is Availability. Next is followed by Software/ Application Security and lastly Legal issues. It seems that most users are mostly concerned about privacy issues when using Cloud Computing technology.
This shows that most users agreed that privacy issue is one of the most critical issue of Cloud Computing.This is because privacy issues are one of the most important issues to be considered before using any kind of technology. Users are worried that their personal or confidential information might be spread through the Internet. This is unsafe for users because it makes them to be easily targeted by cyber criminals.
Availability is also another popular Cloud Computing issues among users. This is because one of the major reasons for using Cloud Computing is its availability to access the data stored in the 'cloud' anywhere, anytime. If the 'cloud' server isn't always available and often have access problems, then users rather use the traditional way to store files.
Most users do not consider legal issues first because safety and security is the most important and critical issue. Thus, there are zero votes for Legal issues.
Some users use Cloud Computing mainly to gain access to cloud applications or softwares. Some organizations also implemented cloud applications that can be used by staffs and customers. Therefore, it is important that the cloud applications are safe, so that no confidential information is leaked out.
Do you agree with the results and analysis?? If not, what do you think??
