- Possibility of dynamic fluctuation of the processing power of the infrastructure depending on the changes in the operational needs (eg increase of power in periods of submission, decrease in periods of lower load), thus ensuring economies of scale.
- improving the level of security of data integrity and continuity, by introducing improved encryption algorithms and preventing malicious access.
