Abstract: The population is living in a complex world at information explosion age. Today in Enterprises, the size and complexity of managing information have been increasing significantly and the demand for cost efficient information storage and processing grows higher. Enterprises need to optimize their IT management and minimize server maintenance costs become greater as usage demands prove to be increasingly unpredictable. Cloud computing offers a promising solution. Cloud computing is a computing model that relies on a large, centralized data center to store and process a great wealth of information. Computing power and storage space are provided on-demand to Enterprises that outsource their IT management to the cloud service provider. The immediate advantage to this computing model is a lower infrastructure maintenance cost. Since Enterprises that use cloud no longer require on-site servers, they eliminate the associated cost in IT management and electrical power.
