Cloud Computing - A Reawakening of Era

Introduction

The evolution of internet technologies has brought about the development of various horizons for exploring new concepts and techniques to fulfill the very needs of the mankind. In this context, cloud computing has surely served itself to be the most prominent as well as distinguishable solution to the networking related problems. The emergence of cloud computing along with its devices has led to the expansion of networking infrastructure, which are mostly provided from the third-party service providers.

It could be easily done while retaining the very customizations required by the enterprise together with transparency to the end users. Moreover, the ability can also be enhanced by the provision of ability for expanding at runtime. It also facilitates the foundation of highly scalable applications. Using the very same feature, the cloud users are free from the worries about the physical limit of the available limit.

Hence, it facilitates the ultimate availability of numerous resources for the fulfillment of variable as well as dynamic user requirements. The illusion based on the availability of unlimited resources give rise to the improvement in the organization's ability to excel and propels to gain subsequent competitive edge within the market. However, a core contributing factor related to the globalization includes the rise of borderless commerce. This has enabled the advancements as well as progressive adoption of communication as well as information technologies for enhancing the productivity of organizations.

Problem Statement

Cloud computing is a newly developed technology and is seeking ways to enhance its operational horizons. It is covering the path towards the development of virtualization systems, which are used in most of the organizations. The problem that raises in the cloud computing is the security of users and companies data and information. Handling such a huge information and data is becoming difficult to remain secure and protected from a number of attackers, spammers, and hackers.

Domains of Applications

This paper will look into the emergence of the cloud computing technology on the grounds of healthcare, educational sectors, and most importantly e-government (Pokharel & Park, 2009, pp. 409-410; Thomas, 2011, pp. 214-224). Through these areas the significance of cloud computing can be analyzed in greater detail.



Security Issues

There is no second thought that the cloud computing gives rise to the development of various new features in the domain of Internet and networking. However, it has some serious flaws too which have somehow overshadowed the performance as well as applicability of the systems. The importance of cloud computing has made the features of exchange quite difficult to pursue thereby making the deployment of cloud computing systems quite difficult. The cloud computing incorporating the usage of services outsourcing; it has been made quite prone as well as susceptible to become a security concern.

The security concerns of cloud computing like the data security and protection of users and organizations, have in-turn induced the externalizations of ...
