Abstract

Cloud Computing is the fastest growing technology in the IT industry. It helps in providing services and resources with the help of internet. Resources are always provided by the Cloud Service Provider. Resources may be servers, storage, applications and networks. Keeping Resources in the cloud environment can be helpful in saving infrastructure cost and time for the user. Transferring the entire information of the enterprise onto the cloud contains lots of security issues and threats. This paper focuses on the various concepts related to cloud computing, its various business and service models and its entities along with several issues and challenges related to it.
