This form of work, known as <em>on-premise<\/em>, requires having a complex and expensive IT infrastructure, which must be equipped with security measures such as fire safeguards, insulation, cooling, anti-theft, physical access control, backup copy dumps, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/computacion-en-la-nube-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Cloud Computing\" class=\"wp-image-72192\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/computacion-en-la-nube-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/computacion-en-la-nube-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/computacion-en-la-nube-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/computacion-en-la-nube-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/computacion-en-la-nube-123x69.jpg 123w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/computacion-en-la-nube-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/computacion-en-la-nube.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>The two main problems of the model <em>on-premise<\/em> are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The maintenance and updating of all hardware and software infrastructure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Server sizing: A tight sizing has the risk of quickly becoming obsolete when new needs arise and oversizing, despite being more advisable, will make the company pay for hardware that will not be used during the first years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>computing in <em>cloud<\/em> comes to solve these problems.
