Conceptualization of Cloud Computing and its Security Threats, Challenges, Technologies and Application

Abstract

Cloud computing is the utilization of computer resources i.e. hardware and software which are delivered as service over a network. It delivers infrastructure, platform and software (applications) as services, which are made available to consumers. It is platform that offer high performance computation capability and managed by individual organization. Cloud provides use of virtualization technologies combine with self-service. In this paper we introduce different types of cloud computing deployment models and architecture. This paper describes the challenges in cloud computing and its security threats. Different types of cloud computing deployment models, viz. private, public, hybrid and community clouds are discussed. In this paper we also discussed the different technologies and its applications used for cloud computing.
