Cloud computing as technology means using internet servers for storage, management, and processing of records for the entire life cycle. Records and data management through the use of this technology has its own set of risks and benefits. Cost-effective, increase in efficiency, better accessibility, and flexibility as benefits need to be weighed against the risks of security, privacy, and information management. For complete understanding of the cloud computing working model, we can divide it into two parts - frontend and backend.

To understand how cloud computing works, it can be divided into front-end and backend. The front end of the server is used to access user data in the cloud with the help of an internet browser or any regular cloud computing software. The backend of the cloud computing technology is responsible for secure data and information storage. It consists of servers, computers, databases, and central servers.

Central servers manage the operations by following some defined protocols. It uses software middleware to ensure seamless connectivity between all the devices linked via cloud computing. Records Management organizations providing their clients with cloud computing usually maintain multiple data copies to eliminate any risks of security threats, data loss, and data breach, etc. There are 3 types of cloud computing models as explained below.

Certain pointers to be kept in mind while using the cloud computing service models are:

Based on specific requirements, organizations can choose how, where, and when to use cloud computing service for an efficient and reliable IT solution.
