Cloud Computing Article

Proceedings Template - WORD: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

I found this article on Cloud Computing and thought that people might want to take a look. It discusses the research challenges for enterprise cloud computing. Below I have pasted the abstract to give you a little more information, enjoy!

Abstract:

Cloud computing represents a shift away from computing as a

product that is purchased, to computing as a service that is

delivered to consumers over the internet from large-scale data

centers – or ‘clouds’. This paper discusses some of the research

challenges for cloud computing from an enterprise or

organizational perspective, and puts them in context by reviewing

the existing body of literature in cloud computing. Various

research challenges relating to the following topics are discussed:

the organizational changes brought about by cloud computing; the

economic and organizational implications of its utility billing

model; the security, legal and privacy issues that cloud computing

raises. It is important to highlight these research challenges

because cloud computing is not simply about a technological

improvement of data centers but a fundamental change in how IT

is provisioned and used. This type of research has the potential to

influence wider adoption of cloud computing in enterprise, and in

the consumer market too.
