Cloud Computing –Rendering Virtualization to IT-Sector

Main Article Content

Abstract

Cloud computing is all the rage. Information technology is changing rapidly, and now forms an invisible layer  that increasingly touches every aspect of our lives. Power grids, traffic control, healthcare, water supplies, food  and energy, along with most of the world's financial transactions, now depend on information technology .Cloud  computing is massively scalable, provides a superior user experience, and is characterized by new, internet driven economics. This paper  focuses upon the needs of IT i.e., a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on  the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software and can  significantly reduce IT costs & complexities while improving workload optimization and service delivery.
