1.  Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet).  The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams.  Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation.

3.  It its quick scalability  Upgrades and changes to the services are done instantaneously and easily enabling the cloud computing service to be resilient.  Everything is measurable.  The business owner can obtain a specific number of user license per software, and a fixed network bandwidth and data space which fits the business’s demands.  An important feature of cloud computing is its ability to let the business owner decide on his current and future needs.  Cloud computing also makes available various hardware or software resources.  Security is also stricter in cloud computing.

4.  Cloud hosting is for business entities which use resources heavily.  Small and medium scale industries can also be accommodated but only large companies can take advantage of the availability, versatility, and power of cloud computing.  Huge businesses which transfer their applications which use up too much resources to the cloud in order to free up their old dedicated servers to decrease cost of operation.

5.  Cost Efficient  Almost Unlimited Storage  Backup and Recovery  Automatic Software Integration  Easy Access to Information  Quick Deployment

6.  Technical Issues  Security in the Cloud  Prone to Attack  In Conclusion

7.  CPU Specification for Cloud Computing is Based on a Blog published by Amazon EC2.  CPU : Dual-socket Intel Xeon X5550 (Nahelem) 2.66GHz processors.  Intel Xeon X5550 processor has 4 cores and each core is capable of hyper- threading.  HDD : 1.5TB+ 7200.11 SATA (minimum) + one PATA Boot Drive  Main Board : Intel BOXDG43NB series MB (minimum)  RAM : 4GB DDR2 800 RAM

8.  The Cloud BPM (bpmPaaS) market is slated to grow 25% year over year, and 40% of companies doing BPM are already using BPM in the cloud  Cloud Email is expected to have a 10% adoption rate in enterprises by 2014,  Big Data will deliver transformational benefits to enterprises within 2 to 5 years, and by 2015 will enable enterprises adopting this technology to outperform competitors by 20% in every available financial metric.

9.  Cloud computing continues to be a rapidly evolving and volatile market.  In 2013, customer expectations will force IT organizations to adopt a hybrid-IT operating model that can host critical applications in the private cloud and can use public cloud services to increase business and IT agility.

10.  Those exploring cloud solutions should establish their risk appetite and evaluate offerings against it.  Companies looking for cloud solutions should establish a cloud provider security risk profile and update it at least annually.  Those exploring cloud solutions should use a risk vector analysis matrix to evaluate cloud providers and those served by the same cloud vendor.  Make sure you evaluate the security program for cloud computing vendors up front and use it to narrow down potential vendors.  Ensure your contract with the cloud provider includes ongoing security reviews and language mandating immediate notification (within 24 hours) of serious security events and many more…
