Topic Selection
Cloud Computers contribute to organizations by providing a useful way for businesses to access instant on-demand networks to the Web, but the companies have less regulation over their information and the important data can be compromised. Thesis: It is of critical importance to find an all-inclusive resolution for strict internet security in order to protect data for businesses and in other areas with access to cloud computing.
Background Information
Cloud computing is the preferred way for businesses and institutions to fundamentally change the way they manage their computing needs. Cloud computing is an on-demand network for delivering services that use multiple server computers through a digital network to resources, such as networks, servers, applications, storage capacity and services, as if it was one computer. It is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned. This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, and four deployment models. The cloud controls a number of activities, such as back-up, providing power instantly, increased storage capacity, a decrease in hardware and software demands, and the ability to obtain data resources whenever needed.
Many organizations rely on the cloud computing networks because they can help the organizations prosper. This is associated with potentially improving the way IT delivers systems and applications, providing a better user experience, easier implementation of solutions, faster time to market, and reduced cost of ownership (Deloitte 2012).
