In the evolution of computing technology, information
processing has moved from mainframes to personal
computers to server-centric computing to the Web. Today,
many organizations are seriously considering adopting cloud
computing, the next major milestone in technology and
business collaboration. A supercharged version of delivering
hosted services over the Internet, cloud computing
potentially enables organizations to increase their business
model capabilities and their ability to meet computing
resource demands while avoiding significant investments in
infrastructure, training, personnel, and software.

Technological advancements in system virtualization, system
resource management, and the Internet have led to cloud
computing’s emergence as a viable alternative for meeting
the technology needs of many types of enterprises, with the

• Common technology platforms that can facilitate

commensurate risks. It brings to organizations a different
dimension of collaboration and human interaction, new
organizational dependencies, faster resource fulfillment, and
new business models.
