Cloud Computing and Security

Abstract

This document gives an insight into Cloud Computing giving an overview of key features as well as the detail study of exact working of Cloud computing. Cloud Computing lets you access all your application and documents from anywhere in the world, freeing you from the confines of the desktop thus making it easier for group members in different locations to collaborate. Certainly cloud computing can bring about strategic, transformational and even revolutionary benefits fundamental to future enterprise computing but it also offers immediate and pragmatic opportunities to improve efficiencies today while cost effectively and systematically setting the stage for the strategic change. As this technology makes the computing, sharing, networking easy and interest ing, we should think about the security and privacy of information too. Thus the key points we are going to be discussed are what is cloud, what are its key features, current applications, future status and the security issues and the possible solutions.
