Abstract

The development of cloud computing has revolutioniz ed in how the computing and storage are utilized remotely. It has grown from being hopeful business concept to one of the fast growing segments of the IT manufacturing. It has become attractive to business es and organizations. Although of all the benefits of the cloud, enterprise customers are still unwilling to position their business in the cloud.
